The Chinese word 上周 (shàng zhōu) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 上 (shàng) and 周 (zhōu). The character 上 means "above", "up", or "previous", while the character 周 means "week" or "cycle". Together, 上周 literally means "previous week" or "last week".The word 上周 is commonly used in Mandarin Chinese to refer to the week that immediately precedes the current week. For example, if today is Monday, 上周 would refer to the previous week, which would be the week that started on the previous Monday and ended on the previous Sunday.上周 can also be used in a more general sense to refer to any week in the past. For example, someone might say 上周我去了北京 (shàng zhōu wǒ qùle Běijīng), which means "I went to Beijing last week".The word 上周 is a useful addition to your Mandarin Chinese vocabulary, as it allows you to talk about past events and experiences in a clear and concise way.
