Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 城区 (chéngqū) is composed of two characters: 城 (chéng) and 区 (qū). 城 originally meant "city wall" or "fortified city", and later extended to mean "city" in general. 区 is a suffix used to indicate a specific area or region within a larger city. Together, 城区 literally means "city area" or "urban area".The term 城区 is often used in contrast to 郊区 (jiāoqū), which means "suburbs" or "rural area". 城区 typically refers to the central, built-up area of a city, while 郊区 refers to the less densely populated areas on the outskirts of the city.In addition to its literal meaning, 城区 can also be used in a more figurative sense to refer to the urban lifestyle or culture. For example, someone who lives in a 城区 might be described as having a "city mentality" or being "urbanized".The word 城区 is commonly used in everyday speech and writing in China. It is also used in official documents and statistics to refer to urban areas.
