सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
This expression reflects the Confucian value of 'step-by-step' progress (循序渐进). It became a staple in modern Chinese administrative and academic language during the 20th century as logical argumentation became more Westernized. It highlights the importance of acknowledging existing achievements before proposing new changes.

What It Means
在此基础上 is your go-to phrase for logical progression. It literally means 'on this basis' or 'building upon this.' When you use it, you are telling your listener that what you are about to say depends on the foundation you just laid. It is like saying, 'Now that we have established step A, let's move to step B.' It adds a layer of sophistication to your speech. It makes you sound like someone who thinks things through.
How To Use It
You usually place this phrase at the beginning of a second clause or a new sentence. It acts as a bridge. First, state a fact or an achievement. Then, drop 在此基础上 to introduce the next logical step. It works perfectly when you want to expand, improve, or refine an idea. You can use it for big life plans or small daily improvements. It is very flexible but always maintains a sense of order.
When To Use It
Use it in a business meeting to suggest a new strategy. It shows you respect the current work but want more. Use it when planning a trip with friends. 'We booked the hotel; 在此基础上, let's pick restaurants.' It is great for academic writing or formal emails too. It makes your arguments feel like they are climbing a ladder. Even in serious heart-to-heart talks, it helps structure your feelings clearly.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid it in super casual, high-energy slang environments. If you are shouting at a football game, this phrase is too stiff. Do not use it if the two ideas are not actually related. It requires a logical 'foundation.' If you say, 'I ate an apple, and 在此基础上, the moon is round,' people will be very confused. It is not a simple 'and then'—it implies a structural connection. Keep it for when things actually build on each other.
Cultural Background
Chinese culture often emphasizes incremental progress and steady foundations. There is a famous saying about building a tower from the ground up. This phrase reflects that 'step-by-step' philosophy. It shows a preference for logical continuity over sudden, disjointed changes. Using it suggests you are a person who values stability and growth. It is a hallmark of 'educated' speech in modern Mandarin.
Common Variations
You might hear 在此前提下 which means 'under this premise.' Another one is 以此为基础, which is slightly more formal. If you want to be very brief, you can just say 基础上. However, 在此基础上 is the most balanced and common version. It hits that sweet spot between being clear and sounding professional. It is the 'Goldilocks' of transitional phrases.
इस्तेमाल की जानकारी
This phrase is a marker of logical fluency. While it leans formal, it is perfectly acceptable in daily life when you want to sound organized. Avoid using it for simple sequential actions like 'I brushed my teeth and then went to bed.'
The 'Lego' Rule
Think of this phrase like a Lego connector. You must have a 'brick' (a fact) already placed before you can snap the next one on with `在此基础上`.
Don't Overuse It
In a single short conversation, using it more than twice can make you sound like a robot or a corporate manual. Mix it up with '所以' or '因此'.
The Power of 'Ci'
The word `此` (cǐ) is a formal way to say 'this.' Using it instead of `这个` immediately elevates your Chinese level to B2 or higher.
