The Chinese word "当前" is composed of two characters: "当" and "前". The character "当" means "present" or "current", while the character "前" means "front" or "ahead". Together, the two characters mean "the present time" or "the current situation".The word "当前" is often used in news articles and other forms of writing to refer to the current state of affairs. For example, a news article might say "当前，中国经济正在快速发展" (Currently, the Chinese economy is developing rapidly).The word "当前" can also be used in a more general sense to refer to the present time. For example, someone might say "当前，我正在学习汉语" (Currently, I am studying Chinese).The word "当前" is a useful word to know for HSK learners, as it is used frequently in both written and spoken Chinese.
