-====== shùjù: 数据 - Data ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** 数据, shuju, data in Chinese, Chinese for data, big data China, 数据分析, data analysis, information in Chinese, tech terms Chinese, business Chinese, shùzì, 资料 +
-  * **Summary:** Discover the meaning of **数据 (shùjù)**, the essential Chinese word for "data." This comprehensive guide covers everything from its basic definition and character origins to its crucial role in modern China's tech boom and the concept of "big data" (大数据). Learn how to use **数据** accurately in business, technology, and daily conversations, with practical examples and clear explanations of common mistakes, making it perfect for any Mandarin learner. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** shùjù +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** Data; facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **数据 (shùjù)** is the direct and standard equivalent of the English word "data." It refers to the raw information—numbers, facts, measurements, or records—that is collected, observed, and analyzed. In the modern world, it's the lifeblood of technology, business, and science. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **数 (shù):** This character's original form often depicted a hand counting with rods or knots. It represents "number," "figure," or "to count." It's the same character used in "mathematics" (数学 - shùxué). +
-  * **据 (jù):** This character is composed of the "hand" radical (扌) on the left and a phonetic component on the right. Its core meaning is "to rely on," "evidence," or "according to." +
-  * The characters combine beautifully to mean "numbers (数) that one can rely on (据)" or "evidence (据) based on figures (数)." This etymology perfectly captures the modern concept of data as a foundation for analysis and decision-making. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-While "data" is a universal concept in the digital age, its perception in China has a unique cultural and national dimension. +
-In the West, discussions about data are often dominated by concerns over individual privacy, surveillance, and corporate overreach (e.g., GDPR in Europe). While these concerns exist in China, the prevailing public narrative, often promoted by the state, emphasizes the collective benefits of data. **数据** is frequently framed as a national strategic resource, essential for economic development, social governance, and enhancing national strength. +
-This is most evident in the concept of **大数据 (dàshùjù - Big Data)**, which is a household term in China. The government's extensive use of big data for urban planning, public security, and economic forecasting is seen by many as a sign of efficiency and progress. This contrasts with the more skeptical Western view, which might see the same practices as intrusive. Therefore, while **数据** translates directly, the cultural context surrounding its large-scale collection and use is different, often prioritizing collective good and national goals. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-**数据** is a neutral, standard term used across all levels of formality, but it is most common in professional, academic, and technological contexts. +
-  * **In Business and Finance:** It's used constantly. You'll hear about `销售数据` (xiāoshòu shùjù - sales data), `市场数据` (shìchǎng shùjù - market data), and `用户数据` (yònghù shùjù - user data). Decisions are expected to be `基于数据的` (jīyú shùjù de - based on data). +
-  * **In Technology:** This is the term's natural habitat. Concepts like `大数据` (dàshùjù - big data), `数据库` (shùjùkù - database), `数据分析` (shùjù fēnxī - data analysis), and `数据隐私` (shùjù yǐnsī - data privacy) are fundamental. +
-  * **In Daily Conversation:** While less common than in professional settings, you might use it to talk about statistics, like sports stats or data from a news report. For example, "The report's data is shocking" (报告里的数据很惊人 - Bàogào lǐ de shùjù hěn jīngrén). +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-The most common mistake for learners is confusing **数据 (shùjù)** with similar-sounding or related words. +
-  * **数据 (shùjù) vs. 数字 (shùzì):** +
-    * **数据 (shùjù)** means "data," a collection of information for analysis. It's a broad concept. +
-    * **数字 (shùzì)** means "number" or "digit" (like 1, 2, 3) or a numerical figure (like a phone number or a price). +
-    * **Incorrect:** `我的电话号码是一个重要的数据。` (Wǒ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì yí ge zhòngyào de shùjù.) +
-    * **Reason:** A phone number is a string of digits, not a set of data for analysis. +
-    * **Correct:** `我的电话号码是一串重要的数字。` (Wǒ de diànhuà hàomǎ shì yí chuàn zhòngyào de shùzì. - My phone number is an important string of digits.) OR `联系方式是重要的数据。` (Liánxì fāngshì shì zhòngyào de shùjù. - Contact information is important data.) +
-  * **数据 (shùjù) vs. 资料 (zīliào):** +
-    * **数据 (shùjù)** is more specific, usually referring to quantitative, structured, raw facts and figures. +
-    * **资料 (zīliào)** is a much broader term for "materials," "information," or "documents." **资料** can contain **数据**. +
-    * **Example:** You ask a colleague for `会议的资料` (huìyì de zīliào - the meeting materials). These materials might include a Word document, a presentation, and an Excel sheet. That Excel sheet is full of `数据`. You wouldn't typically ask for "the meeting's data" unless you specifically meant only the spreadsheet. +
