文化的背景
The concept of 'Li' (理) in the word refers to the natural order or logic of the universe. By performing 'Zhengli,' you aren't just moving objects; you are aligning your environment with reason and harmony. It reflects a Confucian-rooted value that external order leads to internal peace.
The 'Result' Secret
Add 'hǎo' after 'zhěnglǐ' (整理好) to indicate the job is finished and everything is perfect.
Not for People
You can organize things and thoughts, but you don't 'zhěnglǐ' a group of people. Use 'zǔzhī' (组织) for that!

What It Means
整理 is your go-to word for 'tidying up.' It is more than just cleaning. It is about bringing logic to chaos. When you 整理, you are organizing things so they make sense. Think of it as the 'Marie Kondo' verb of the Chinese language.
How To Use It
Use it like a standard verb. You can 整理 physical objects like a 房间 (room) or 行李 (luggage). You can also use it for abstract things. If your mind is a mess, you 整理 your 思路 (train of thought). It usually follows the pattern: Subject + 整理 + Object. It is simple, clean, and very common.
When To Use It
Use it when you are getting ready for something. Use it before a trip to pack your bags. Use it at work to fix your files. Use it when a friend is coming over and your socks are on the floor. It is perfect for any situation involving preparation or restoration of order. Even 'sorting out' your feelings counts here.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use 整理 for heavy-duty scrubbing. If you are washing dishes or mopping floors, use 打扫 instead. 整理 is about arrangement, not hygiene. Also, do not use it for 'organizing' an event or a party. For that, you need the word 组织. You wouldn't 'tidy up' a wedding, right? That would be a very quiet party.
Cultural Background
In Chinese culture, keeping things 整齐 (neat) is often linked to a disciplined mind. A messy desk might imply a messy life. There is a strong emphasis on 'face' and presentation. Showing someone a well-organized space shows respect. It is a sign that you have your life under control.
Common Variations
整理一下: The most common way to say 'tidy up a bit.' Adding一下makes it sound softer and less like a chore.收拾: A more casual, spoken synonym. You will hear this at home more often.整理整顿: A more formal version used in business or military contexts to mean 'reorganize and consolidate.'
使い方のコツ
A very versatile, neutral word. Use it for both physical and mental organization without fear of being too formal or too casual.
The 'Result' Secret
Add 'hǎo' after 'zhěnglǐ' (整理好) to indicate the job is finished and everything is perfect.
Not for People
You can organize things and thoughts, but you don't 'zhěnglǐ' a group of people. Use 'zǔzhī' (组织) for that!
The Zen of Tidying
In China, a clean desk is often seen as a sign of a clear mind. Bosses love seeing a 'zhěnglǐ' desk!
