زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'fuxi' is deeply rooted in Confucianism, specifically the idea of 'reviewing the old to understand the new' (温故而知新). In the high-pressure Chinese education system, this phrase is a daily mantra for millions of students preparing for the Gaokao exam.
The 'Double Character' trick
If you want to sound more casual, you can say `复习复习` (fùxí fùxí). Doubling the verb makes it sound relaxed, like 'I'm just gonna do a bit of reviewing.'
Don't 'Review' your Piano
Avoid using `复习` for physical skills like sports or instruments. Use `练习` (liànxí - practice) for those. `复习` is mostly for information and knowledge.

What It Means
复习 (fùxí) is your best friend when you want to master a skill. The first character means to repeat or return. The second means to practice or learn. Together, they describe the act of reviewing material you have already encountered. It is not about learning something brand new. It is about strengthening the neural pathways for things you already know. Think of it as 'polishing' your knowledge so it shines.
How To Use It
You use 复习 as a verb in most sentences. You can place the subject you are reviewing right after it. For example, you can 复习课文 (review the text) or 复习功课 (review homework). It is very flexible. You can use it with adverbs like 好好 (properly) to say 好好复习. It sounds natural in both speech and writing. Just don't confuse it with 练习 (to practice), which is more about doing drills.
When To Use It
Use this when a test is coming up. Use it when you are preparing for a business presentation. It is perfect for telling a friend why you can't go out tonight. If you are at a cafe with your laptop, you are likely 复习. It is a very 'productive' word. It shows you are being diligent and responsible. You will hear it constantly in schools and offices.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use 复习 for physical sports or instruments. You don't 'review' the piano; you 练习 (practice) it. Also, don't use it for the first time you see something. If it is new, you are 学习 (learning). Using 复习 for a first-time meeting or a brand-new movie would sound very strange. It implies a 'second look' only.
Cultural Background
In Chinese culture, repetition is seen as the mother of all learning. There is a famous Confucian saying: 'Review the old to know the new.' This makes 复习 a very respected activity. Parents will often ask their children if they have 'fuxi-ed' yet. It carries a sense of discipline and academic rigor. It is not just a study habit; it is a virtue.
Common Variations
You might hear 温习 (wēnxí) in older literature or Southern regions. It sounds a bit more poetic, like 'warming up' your knowledge. In casual slang, students might say 啃书 (kěn shū), which literally means 'gnawing on books.' However, 复习 remains the gold standard for everyday use. It is the word you will see on every syllabus and hear in every classroom.
نکات کاربردی
The phrase is neutral and highly versatile. Be careful not to use it for physical habits; it is strictly for cognitive or academic review.
The 'Double Character' trick
If you want to sound more casual, you can say `复习复习` (fùxí fùxí). Doubling the verb makes it sound relaxed, like 'I'm just gonna do a bit of reviewing.'
Don't 'Review' your Piano
Avoid using `复习` for physical skills like sports or instruments. Use `练习` (liànxí - practice) for those. `复习` is mostly for information and knowledge.
The 'Warm-up' Variant
In Hong Kong or Taiwan, you might hear `温习` (wēnxí). It's the same meaning but feels slightly more traditional or 'softer' than the mainland's `复习`.
