The Chinese character 区 (qū) is composed of two parts: 囗 (wéi) and 土 (tǔ). 囗 represents an enclosed space, while 土 represents earth or land. Together, they form the character 区, which originally meant "a small area of land" or "a district".In modern Chinese, 区 is still used to refer to a district or a region, but it can also be used in a more general sense to mean "an area" or "a zone". For example, it can be used to refer to a residential area, a commercial area, or a school district.The character 区 can also be used in a figurative sense to mean "a realm" or "a sphere". For example, it can be used to refer to the realm of politics, the realm of business, or the realm of education.In addition to its literal and figurative meanings, 区 can also be used as a suffix to form new words. For example, the word 区长 (qūzhǎng) means "district chief", and the word 区委书记 (qūwěishūjì) means "district party secretary".The character 区 is a versatile character with a rich history and a wide range of meanings. It is an important character to learn for HSK learners, as it is used in a variety of contexts and can be used to express a variety of ideas.
