-  * **Summary:** Learn about the essential Chinese term **聚会 (jùhuì)**, which means "gathering," "party," or "get-together." This page explores what a `jùhuì` is, how it differs from a Western "party," and its cultural importance in building relationships in China. Discover how to use it in everyday conversation, from a casual friends' meeting to a lively family get-together, with numerous practical examples. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** jùhuì +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun, Verb +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 3 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** A social gathering of people for leisure or celebration; to get together. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **聚会 (jùhuì)** is your go-to, all-purpose word for any social get-together. It's broader and often less wild than the English word "party." It can be a simple dinner with a few friends, a class reunion, a family holiday celebration, or a KTV night. The core idea isn't necessarily a loud celebration, but simply the act of people coming together to connect and share time. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **聚 (jù):** This character means "to gather," "to assemble," or "to get together." Think of it as the action of bringing people or things to one central point. +
-  * **会 (huì):** This character means "to meet," "meeting," or "an association." It signifies the event or occasion of meeting. +
-  * When combined, **聚会 (jùhuì)** literally translates to "gather-meet." The meaning is very straightforward: it's an event where people have gathered to meet and socialize. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-In Chinese culture, maintaining social harmony and strong personal relationships ([[关系|guānxi]]) is paramount. The **聚会 (jùhuì)** is a fundamental social ritual for building and reinforcing these bonds. +
-A key difference from a typical Western "party" is the structure and focus. While a Western party might involve a lot of free-form mingling, loud music, and dancing, a Chinese `jùhuì` is often centered around a shared, structured activity. The most common of these is eating. A dinner party ([[聚餐|jùcān]]) is a classic form of `jùhuì`. Other popular activities include singing karaoke (KTV), playing mahjong, or simply drinking tea and chatting. +
-The atmosphere sought is often **热闹 (rènao)**—lively and bustling with positive human energy—rather than "wild." It's about collective enjoyment and strengthening the group dynamic, reflecting the collectivist nature of the culture. A `聚会` is less about individual expression and more about enjoying being part of a group, whether it's family, friends, or classmates. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-**聚会 (jùhuì)** is an extremely common and versatile word used in daily life. It can function as both a noun (a gathering) and a verb (to gather). +
-  * **As a Noun:** You can "have," "organize," or "attend" a `聚会`. +
-    * //"I have a gathering tonight."// - 我今天晚上有个**聚会**。(Wǒ jīntiān wǎnshang yǒu ge jùhuì.) +
-  * **As a Verb:** You can use it to suggest getting together with someone. +
-    * //"When are we getting together?"// - 我们什么时候**聚会**？(Wǒmen shénme shíhou jùhuì?) +
-It's generally informal and friendly. You would use it for: +
-  * **朋友聚会 (péngyou jùhuì):** A get-together with friends. +
-  * **家庭聚会 (jiātíng jùhuì):** A family gathering (e.g., for a holiday or birthday). +
-  * **同学聚会 (tóngxué jùhuì):** A class reunion. +
-  * **公司聚会 (gōngsī jùhuì):** An office party or get-together (though [[团建]] (tuánjiàn) is more specific for corporate team-building events). +
-===== Example Sentences ===== +
-  * **Example 1:** +
-    * 这个周末我们有个朋友**聚会**，你要来吗？ +
-    * Pinyin: Zhège zhōumò wǒmen yǒu ge péngyou **jùhuì**, nǐ yào lái ma? +
-    * English: We're having a friends' get-together this weekend, do you want to come? +
-    * Analysis: A classic invitation. `有个聚会` (yǒu ge jùhuì) literally means "have a gathering" and is the standard way to say you're hosting or there's one happening. +
-  * **Example 2:** +
-    * 我们好久没**聚会**了，找个时间一起吃饭吧。 +

-    * English: We haven't gotten together in a long time, let's find a time to eat together. +
-    * Analysis: Here, `聚会` is used as a verb. `好久没 [verb] 了` (hǎojiǔ méi...le) is a common pattern for "haven't done [verb] in a long time." +
-  * **Example 3:** +
-    * 昨天的**聚会**怎么样？热闹吗？ +
-    * Pinyin: Zuótiān de **jùhuì** zěnmeyàng? Rènao ma? +

-    * Pinyin: Zhè shì wǒmen de niándù jiātíng **jùhuì**. +

-  * **Example 5:** +
-    * 他正在组织大学同学**聚会**。 +
-    * Pinyin: Tā zhèngzài zǔzhī dàxué tóngxué **jùhuì**. +
-    * English: He is organizing a university class reunion. +

-    * Pinyin: Zánmen shénme shíhou zài **jùhuì** yíxià? +

-    * Analysis: Using `一下` (yíxià) after the verb `聚会` softens the tone, making it a very casual and friendly suggestion, like "get together for a bit." +
-  * **Example 8:** +
-    * 每次**聚会**，大家最喜欢的就是一起唱歌。 +
-    * Pinyin: Měi cì **jùhuì**, dàjiā zuì xǐhuan de jiùshì yìqǐ chànggē. +

-    * English: To celebrate your promotion, let's throw a party for you! +
-    * Analysis: `办` (bàn) means "to hold" or "to run" an event. `办聚会` (bàn jùhuì) is a common alternative to `组织聚会` (zǔzhī jùhuì). +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **聚会 (jùhuì) vs. 派对 (pàiduì):** This is the most common point of confusion. +
-    * **聚会 (jùhuì):** A general, often traditional get-together. The focus is on connecting, eating, or a shared activity. +
-    * **派对 (pàiduì):** A loanword from "party." It specifically implies a more Western-style event with loud music, dancing, drinks, and a celebratory, high-energy atmosphere. A birthday `jùhuì` might be a nice dinner, while a birthday `pàiduì` might be at a club. +
-    * **Mistake:** Calling a quiet family dinner a `派对` would sound strange. +
-  * **聚会 (jùhuì) vs. 会议 (huìyì):** +
-    * **会议 (huìyì):** This means "meeting" or "conference" in a formal, business, or organizational sense. It's for work, not for fun. +
-    * **Mistake:** Never invite your friends to a `会议` for dinner. They will think it's a business meeting. +
-    * **Incorrect:** //我们周末开个**会议**吧。// (Wǒmen zhōumò kāi ge **huìyì** ba.) - //This sounds like "Let's hold a business conference this weekend."// +
-    * **Correct:** //我们周末**聚会**吧。// (Wǒmen zhōumò **jùhuì** ba.) +
-  * **聚会 (jùhuì) vs. 约会 (yuēhuì):** +
-    * **约会 (yuēhuì):** This specifically means a romantic "date" between two people. +
-    * **Mistake:** Mixing these up can be very embarrassing. A `聚会` is for a group; a `约会` is for a couple. If you ask a group of friends to `约会`, you are making a very confusing (and possibly awkward) suggestion. +
