-====== dìpán: 地盘 - Turf, Territory, Domain ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** dipan, 地盘, Chinese word for turf, territory in Chinese, sphere of influence, personal space in Chinese, 地盘 meaning, what does dipan mean +
-  * **Summary:** Learn the meaning of **地盘 (dìpán)**, a versatile Chinese word for "turf," "territory," or "domain." This entry explores how **dìpán** is used to describe everything from a gang's territory and a company's market to a cat's favorite spot or your personal space. Understand its cultural context, practical usage, and how it differs from similar words like `地方 (dìfang)`. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** dìpán +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 6 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** A territory or sphere of influence under one's control. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **地盘 (dìpán)** is the area—physical or abstract—that you consider "yours." Think of it as your turf, your domain, or your zone of control. It carries a strong, assertive feeling of ownership and implies that others should keep out or respect your authority within that space. Whether it's your side of the bedroom, your company's market, or a mafia boss's neighborhood, it's all **地盘**. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **地 (dì):** This character means "earth," "ground," or "land." It's the foundation of the word, rooting it in a physical place. +
-  * **盘 (pán):** This character originally means "plate" or "tray." Picture a flat, defined surface. +
-  * When combined, **地盘 (dìpán)** literally means a "plate of land" or a "tray of earth." This vivid image suggests a clearly demarcated area that belongs to someone, just as the food on your plate belongs to you. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-  * **地盘 (dìpán)** taps into the universal concept of territoriality but with a distinct Chinese flavor. While the English word "turf" is a very close match, it's often strongly associated with gangs, sports rivalries, or highly informal situations. **地盘** is much broader. +
-  * **Comparison to "Turf":** A CEO can talk about expanding the company's **地盘** (market share) in a business meeting without sounding like a gangster. A mother can claim the kitchen as her **地盘** half-jokingly. This flexibility makes it more integrated into everyday language than "turf." +
-  * The concept reflects a clear sense of in-group/out-group and personal boundaries. Declaring a **地盘** is a way of setting rules and establishing authority within a defined space. It's a direct and unambiguous way to say, "This is mine, and in this area, my rules apply." This can be seen in business negotiations, family dynamics, and social hierarchies. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-  * **地盘** is a common word used in various contexts, ranging from serious to playful. Its connotation depends entirely on the situation and tone of voice. +
-  * **Business and Competition:** +
-    * Used to describe a company's market, area of operations, or sphere of influence. +
-    * Example: 抢占地盘 (qiǎngzhàn dìpán) - to fight for and occupy market territory. +
-    * It carries a competitive, sometimes aggressive, business connotation. +
-  * **Gangs and Conflict (The "Turf" Meaning):** +
-    * This is the classic meaning you see in movies. It refers to the physical territory controlled by a gang or criminal organization. +
-    * It's used in news reports or discussions about organized crime. +
-  * **Personal and Informal Space:** +
-    * This is a very common, informal usage. It can refer to a person's room, their desk at work, or even their side of the couch. +
-    * It's often used with a possessive pronoun like 我的 (wǒ de). "这是我的地盘!" (This is my turf!). This can be said seriously, assertively, or jokingly. +
-  * **Animals:** +
-    * Used to describe an animal's territory. +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **地盘 (dìpán) vs. 地方 (dìfang):** This is the most common point of confusion for learners. +
-    * `地方 (dìfang)` simply means "place" or "area." It is neutral and has no connotation of ownership or control. +
-    * **Incorrect:** `你想去哪个**地盘**吃饭？` (Nǐ xiǎng qù nǎge **dìpán** chīfàn?) - This sounds aggressive, like you're asking "Which gang's turf do you want to eat at?" +
-    * **Correct:** `你想去哪个**地方**吃饭？` (Nǐ xiǎng qù nǎge **dìfang** chīfàn?) - "What place do you want to go to eat?" +
-  * **Formality: 地盘 (dìpán) vs. 领域 (lǐngyù):** +
-    * `地盘` is generally informal or used in specific contexts like business competition or crime. +
-    * `领域 (lǐngyù)` means "field," "domain," or "sphere." It is much more formal and abstract. You use it for academic fields, areas of knowledge, or professional sectors. +
-    * **Example:** "His research is in the **领域** of physics," not "the **地盘** of physics." +
