在此框架内

You usually place this phrase at the beginning of a sentence. It sets the stage for what follows. You can also use it after a noun to show a relationship. For example, 在此框架内进行讨论 means 'conducting discussions within this framework.' It acts like a logic anchor for your conversation. It keeps everyone on the same page.

Use it when you want to look professional. It is perfect for business meetings or academic writing. Use it when discussing a project scope with a boss. It works well when you are negotiating a deal. It shows you are organized and respect the agreed-upon rules. It makes you sound like a sophisticated strategist.

Do not use this while ordering bubble tea. It is way too stiff for casual hangouts. If you tell a friend, 'Within this framework, let's eat hotpot,' they will think you are a robot. Avoid it in highly emotional or intimate settings. It feels cold and calculated. Keep it away from your dating life unless you are literally signing a pre-nup.

Chinese culture values 'he' (harmony) and 'gui' (rules). This phrase reflects the importance of structure in Chinese society. In the past few decades, it became a staple in diplomatic and legal language. It represents the modern Chinese shift toward standardized systems. It is the language of the 'new' professional China. It shows a respect for order and collective agreement.

You might hear 在这一框架下. This is almost identical but uses 'under' instead of 'inside.' Another one is 在这个范围内, which is slightly more casual. If you want to be even more formal, try 于此框架之中. However, 在此框架内 is the gold standard for balance. It is the 'Little Black Dress' of professional Chinese phrases.
