详情
详情 in 30 Sekunden
- 详情 (xiángqíng) is a formal noun meaning 'detailed information' or 'specifics' of a situation, event, or plan.
- Commonly used in digital interfaces as 'View Details' (查看详情) and in business to request specific data.
- It differs from 细节 (xìjié) by referring to the whole story's facts rather than just small, minor points.
- Key collocations include 了解详情 (understand details), 询问详情 (ask for details), and 详情如下 (details are as follows).
The term 详情 (xiángqíng) is a foundational noun in intermediate Chinese, bridging the gap between basic situational awareness and professional descriptive capability. At its core, it refers to the 'detailed information' or 'specific circumstances' of a matter. It is composed of two characters: 详 (xiáng), meaning 'detailed' or 'thorough,' and 情 (qíng), which in this context refers to 'situation,' 'facts,' or 'circumstances' (as in 情况 qíngkuàng or 事情 shìqing). Together, they form a word that asks for or provides the complete picture of an event, rather than just a summary.
- Etymological Root
- The character 详 (xiáng) contains the 'speech' radical (讠), suggesting that details are often communicated through words or reports. The right side (羊) provides the phonetic component but also historically carries connotations of 'auspicious' or 'clear.' When paired with 情 (heart/essence), it implies the 'true essence' of a situation revealed through clear description.
欲知详情,请听下回分解。(Yù zhī xiángqíng, qǐng tīng xiàhuí fēnjiě.)
In modern usage, you will encounter 详情 everywhere from digital interfaces to legal documents. On a website, a button labeled '详情' is the equivalent of 'View Details' or 'Learn More.' In a police report, it refers to the specifics of a crime. In a business meeting, it refers to the granular data behind a proposal. It differs from the word '细节' (xìjié) in that 详情 usually refers to the 'full story' or 'complete set of facts,' while 细节 refers to 'small, specific points' or 'fine details' that might be part of the 详情.
- Semantic Range
- 1. The specifics of an event. 2. Detailed information in a document. 3. The true state of affairs in a complex situation.
关于事故的详情,调查组仍在核实中。
Understanding 详情 requires recognizing its role as a formal noun. While you might use '情况' (qíngkuàng) in casual conversation to ask 'how things are going,' you use '详情' when you need a formal, structured, or exhaustive account. It is the difference between asking 'How was the party?' and 'What are the specific details of the party's itinerary?'
- Usage Frequency
- Extremely high in written Chinese, business correspondence, and digital UI. Moderate in spoken Chinese, usually appearing in more serious or formal discussions.

他向我询问了计划的详情。
Using 详情 correctly involves understanding its grammatical function as a noun and its typical collocations. It is rarely used as a verb; instead, it is the object of verbs like '了解' (to understand/find out), '询问' (to inquire), '告知' (to inform), or '核实' (to verify). Because it is a formal word, it often appears in structures that involve professional communication.
- Common Verb Pairings
- 了解详情 (liǎojiě xiángqíng): To get the full story.
- 告知详情 (gàozhī xiángqíng): To inform someone of the details.
- 询问详情 (xúnwèn xiángqíng): To ask for specifics.
- 隐藏详情 (yǐncáng xiángqíng): To hide the details.

In sentence construction, 详情 often takes a possessive modifier. You don't just ask for 'details'; you ask for 'the details *of the matter*' (事情的详情) or 'the details *of the plan*' (计划的详情). This 'A 的 详情' structure is the most common way to specify what information is being sought. In digital contexts, however, '详情' often stands alone as a label.
- Grammatical Patterns
1. [Subject] + 了解 + [Noun]的详情: He understood the details of the contract.
2. 详情 + 请见/参考 + [Source]: For details, please refer to the website.
3. [Noun] + 详情页: The details page of a product.
关于这次会议的详情,我们会在明天发布公告。
Another advanced usage is the phrase '不知详情' (not knowing the details). This is often used as a polite way to decline commenting on a situation or to explain why one cannot make a judgment. For example, '我不便评价,因为我不知详情' (It's not convenient for me to comment because I don't know the details).
由于我不在现场,所以并不清楚事情的详情。
- Contextual Nuance
- In legal or investigative contexts, 详情 implies a level of truth or 'the real story' that might be hidden beneath the surface. To 'reveal the 详情' (披露详情) is to bring the truth to light.
警方拒绝透露案件的详情。
The word 详情 is ubiquitous in the modern Chinese digital and professional landscape. If you are navigating a Chinese app like WeChat, Alipay, or Taobao, you will see this word dozens of times a day. It is the standard label for expanding content. In physical spaces, you'll see it on advertisements, posters, and official notices.
- Digital Environment
- On e-commerce platforms, the '详情' section contains the product description, high-resolution photos, and technical specs. On social media, '查看详情' (View Details) is the link that takes you from a snippet to the full article.
扫码关注,了解活动详情。
In the workplace, 详情 is the currency of reporting. A manager might say, '把项目的详情发给我' (Send me the project details). Here, it implies a comprehensive report including timelines, budgets, and personnel. In news broadcasts, anchors use it to transition from a headline to a field report: '下面请看本台记者发回的详情' (Next, please see the details sent back by our reporter).
- Public Service Announcements
- During public health crises or weather emergencies, government notices will often end with '详情请关注官方发布' (For details, please follow official releases).
关于新政策的详情,请咨询当地政府部门。
In literature and storytelling, 详情 is used to build suspense. A character might say, '等我回来再告诉你详情' (I'll tell you the details when I get back), signaling that there is a complex story yet to be told. It adds a layer of formality and gravity to the information being withheld.
他向朋友们叙述了这次旅行的详情。
这份报告列出了项目的详情,包括成本和进度。
While 详情 seems straightforward, learners often confuse it with other words that translate to 'detail' or 'situation' in English. The most common confusion is with 细节 (xìjié). While both involve details, they are used differently. 详情 is the 'full story' (the macro-details), whereas 细节 refers to 'minor points' or 'fine nuances' (the micro-details).
- Confusion with 细节 (Xìjié)
- If you say '我不记得那个故事的细节' (I don't remember the details of that story), you mean you forgot the specific colors, names, or small actions. If you say '我不记得那个故事的详情', you mean you forgot the plot and the general sequence of events.
错误:请告诉我这个计划的细情。
正确:请告诉我这个计划的详情。
Another mistake is using 详情 as a verb. In English, we can say 'He detailed the plan.' In Chinese, you cannot say '他详情了计划.' You must use a verb like '详细说明' (detailedly explain) or '列举' (list). 详情 is strictly a noun.
- Confusion with 情况 (Qíngkuàng)
- 情况 is more general. '了解情况' means 'to understand the situation.' '了解详情' means 'to understand the specific, detailed facts.' Use 情况 for general updates and 详情 for deep dives.
他不了解详情,所以不敢乱说。
Learners also sometimes forget the '的' in possessive structures. While '订单详情' (order details) is a common compound noun in apps, in formal writing, '订单的详情' is often preferred for clarity unless it's a fixed label. Also, be careful not to confuse 详情 with 详细 (xiángxì), which is the adjective form. You can have a '详细的报告' (detailed report), but you ask for the '报告的详情' (details of the report).
错误:他给了我一个详情的说明。
正确:他给了我一个详细的说明。
关于案件的详情,目前还不清楚。
To master 详情, you must distinguish it from its synonyms and related terms. Each has a specific nuance that dictates when it should be used over 详情.
- 1. 细节 (Xìjié) - Minor Details
- Focuses on the small, specific components. 详情 is the whole puzzle; 细节 are the individual pieces. You 'pay attention to 细节' (注重细节), but you 'inquire about 详情' (询问详情).
- 2. 情况 (Qíngkuàng) - Situation/Circumstances
- A broader term. If you ask about the 情况, you want to know how things are going generally. If you ask about the 详情, you want the specific facts and data.
- 3. 始末 (Shǐmò) - The Whole Story (Beginning to End)
- Literally 'beginning and end.' Used when describing the full narrative arc of an event. '事情的始末' implies a chronological account, whereas 详情 is just the detailed information.
他把整件事的始末都告诉了我,包括每一个细节。
In academic or formal reports, you might see 概况 (gàikuàng), which is the opposite of 详情. 概况 means 'general overview' or 'profile.' If a document has a 概况 section, it will be followed by a 详情 section.
- 4. 资讯 (Zīxùn) - Information/News
- Used in media and tech. '更多资讯' (More info) is similar to '更多详情,' but 资讯 feels more like 'news' or 'data,' while 详情 feels like 'specifics of a case/matter.'
请参阅产品说明书以获取更多详情。
Finally, consider 实情 (shíqíng). This means 'the truth' or 'the actual facts.' While 详情 is about the *amount* of information (detailed), 实情 is about the *veracity* of the information (the truth). You might know the 详情 (details) but still not know the 实情 (the hidden truth).
虽然他说了不少详情,但我怀疑他隐瞒了实情。
