Meaning and Usage

The character "" primarily refers to a musical score or sheet music, such as piano or ancient music scores. It also extends to systematic records or lists, like a family genealogy ().

Common Collocations

  • 钢琴 (gāngqín pǔ): piano sheet music, used when referring to piano music.
  • (jiāpǔ): family genealogy, a record of family history and members.
  • 乐谱 (yuèpǔ): musical score in general.

Usage Notes

"" is often used in contexts related to music or systematic records. When referring to music, it implies the written notation that musicians read. In genealogy, it denotes a structured family record. It is a formal term and appears in both spoken and written language, especially in cultural or academic contexts.

Common Confusions

Do not confuse "" with "" (to compose or write music) or "" (genealogy or lineage), which are derived terms but have distinct meanings. "" alone focuses on the notation or record itself.

Example Sentences

This book contains many ancient music scores.

He is studying piano sheet music, preparing for the competition.
