-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** jìngōng +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb / Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** To launch an attack or an offensive; the act of attacking or being on the offense. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **进攻 (jìngōng)** is a dynamic and action-oriented word that describes the act of moving forward to engage an opponent. Think of it as "advancing to strike." While its most literal meaning is in warfare, it's incredibly common in sports to describe a team's "offense" and in business to describe a strategic market push. It always implies a proactive, forward-moving action against an opposing force. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **进 (jìn):** This character means "to enter" or "to advance." It's a combination of 井 (jǐng), a well, and the "walking" radical (辶). You can imagine it as someone advancing past a landmark (the well). It signifies forward movement. +
-  * **攻 (gōng):** This character means "to attack" or "to assault." It combines 工 (gōng), meaning "work" or "skill," with the "strike" or "tap" radical (攵). Together, they represent the act of applying effort or skill (工) to strike (攵) an enemy. +
-  * When combined, **进攻 (jìngōng)** literally means "to advance and attack." This fusion creates a powerful and unambiguous term for launching an offensive. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-  * **进攻 (jìngōng)** is a direct and forceful term that reflects a proactive, and at times aggressive, mindset necessary in competitive fields. While traditional Chinese philosophy, such as in Sun Tzu's //The Art of War// (《孙子兵法》), often praises winning through strategy and avoiding direct conflict, **进攻** represents the necessary tool of direct action when strategy alone is not enough. +
-  * In the West, we have similar concepts like "attack" or "offense." However, the use of **进攻** in contexts like business or marketing in China feels very normalized and direct. A company launching a new product line might explicitly state they are beginning a "market offensive" (市场进攻 - shìchǎng jìngōng). This reflects a highly competitive modern environment where taking decisive, forward action is seen as a key to success. It's less about hostility and more about a strategic, determined push towards a goal. +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **进攻 (jìngōng) vs. 攻击 (gōngjī):** This is the most common point of confusion for learners. +
-    * **攻击 (gōngjī):** This is the more general and frequently used word for "attack." It can refer to a single action (e.g., he attacked me) or a general attack. +
-    * **进攻 (jìngōng):** This implies a more sustained, planned, and forward-moving action. It's an *offensive* or a *charge*. You launch an **进攻**, which may be composed of many small **攻击**. +
-    * **Analogy:** In a video game, pressing the 'A' button for a single sword swing is a **攻击 (gōngjī)**. Deciding to charge into the enemy's base with your whole team is an **进攻 (jìngōng)**. +
-  * **False Friend Alert: "Offensive"** +
-    * In English, the word "offensive" can mean "insulting" or "disgusting" (e.g., "That joke was offensive"). +
-    * **进攻 (jìngōng) NEVER has this meaning.** It strictly refers to the act of attacking. To express the idea of "insulting" or "rude," you would use words like [[冒犯]] (màofàn) or [[无礼]] (wúlǐ). +
-    * **Incorrect:** ~~这个笑话很进攻 (Zhège xiàohuà hěn jìngōng.)~~ -> This is wrong. +
-    * **Correct:** 这个笑话很冒犯 (Zhège xiàohuà hěn màofàn.) - This joke is very offensive. +
