설명 滋润 in your Level:

At the A1 level, you can think of 滋润 (zīrùn) as a 'super-word' for moisturizing. Even though it is a more advanced word in terms of character complexity, its basic meaning is very useful for beginners. Think about when you are thirsty. You drink water. That water 'moistens' your throat. In Chinese, we say '滋润嗓子' (moisten the throat). When your skin is dry in winter, you use cream. That cream 'moistens' your skin. '滋润皮肤' (moisten the skin). At this level, you don't need to worry about the deep poetic meanings. Just remember: 滋润 = Good Moisture. It makes things feel better when they are dry. You can use it to talk about rain helping flowers or lotion helping your hands. It is a positive word. If you say something is 滋润, you are saying it has enough water to be happy and healthy. Practice saying '很滋润' (hěn zīrùn) to describe a good lip balm or a nice day after a rain. It is a very common word in shopping for skincare, so knowing it will help you read labels in a Chinese supermarket. Even at A1, using this word will make you sound more like a native speaker than just saying '有水' (has water).

At the A2 level, you can start using 滋润 (zīrùn) in more complete sentences and understand its role as a verb. You should learn the basic pattern: [Water/Rain/Cream] + 滋润 + [Skin/Plants/Throat]. For example, '雨水滋润了小草' (Rain moistened the grass). Notice the use of '了' (le) here because the rain has already done its job. You can also use it to describe a state using '很' (hěn). '我的皮肤不滋润' (My skin is not moist). This is very useful for daily life and health. You might also start to see this word in short stories about nature. At this level, you should also be able to distinguish it from '湿' (shī - wet). If your clothes are wet from rain, they are '湿', which is often annoying. But if the rain helps the trees, it is '滋润', which is good. Start noticing this word in advertisements for drinks and lotions. It is a key word for 'feeling good' physically. You can also use it to describe the air: '这里的空气很滋润' (The air here is very moist/refreshing), which is a nice way to compliment a place with good weather.

At the B1 level, you are ready to explore the metaphorical meanings of 滋润 (zīrùn). Beyond physical moisture, 滋润 is used to describe a comfortable, prosperous life. The phrase '日子过得很滋润' (living a very 'moist' life) is a common idiom you should master. It means the person has enough money, a good job, and low stress. It's like a plant that always has enough water—it doesn't have to struggle. You can use this to talk about your friends or characters in a movie. Additionally, you can use 滋润 in a more abstract way to talk about emotions or the mind. For example, '友谊滋润了我的心' (Friendship nourished my heart). This shows a higher level of language ability. You should also be able to compare 滋润 with 湿润 (shīrùn). Remember that 湿润 is more for geography and weather (e.g., '南方气候湿润'), while 滋润 is for nourishment and health. In your writing, try to use 滋润 to describe positive influences. If a teacher's words helped you grow, you can say their 'teachings nourished (滋润) my mind.' This adds a touch of elegance to your Chinese.

At the B2 level, you should have a firm grasp of 滋润 (zīrùn) in both its literal and figurative senses across various registers. You will encounter this word in more complex literature and news reports. It often appears in discussions about the environment, where '滋润' describes the ecological benefits of water resources. You should also be aware of its use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) contexts, where certain foods are said to '滋润肺部' (moisten the lungs) or '滋润燥症' (relieve dryness symptoms). Understanding this cultural background is essential for B2 learners. In terms of grammar, you can use it in more complex structures, such as '滋润着' (moistening - ongoing) or '得到滋润' (receiving nourishment). For example, '在老师的关怀下，同学们茁壮成长，心灵得到了滋润' (Under the teacher's care, the students grew vigorously, and their souls were nourished). At this level, you can also use the word to describe the 'luster' or 'health' of objects like jade or high-quality paper, though '润泽' is a more specific synonym for that. You should be able to explain the nuance between 滋润 and 滋养 (zīyǎng) to others, noting that 滋润 emphasizes moisture while 滋养 emphasizes nutrients.

At the C1 level, 滋润 (zīrùn) becomes a tool for sophisticated expression. You should be able to use it effortlessly in literary analysis and formal writing. In C1 contexts, 滋润 often appears in essays discussing the 'nourishment' of culture, history, or art. For instance, you might write about how 'classical literature continues to nourish (滋润) the spirit of modern people.' You should also be sensitive to the word's ability to create a specific atmosphere in writing—one of peace, growth, and abundance. In social commentary, you might use '滋润' to critique or describe the lifestyle of the middle class ('滋润的中产阶级生活'). You should also be familiar with related four-character idioms (chengyu) or phrases that use the character 润, such as '润物细无声' (moistening things silently), which comes from a famous poem by Du Fu. This phrase is often used to describe someone who has a profound but subtle influence on others. At this level, your use of 滋润 should reflect an understanding of its deep roots in the Chinese worldview, where water is the source of all life and its presence (in the form of 滋润) is the ultimate sign of a healthy system, whether it be a body, a family, or a society.

At the C2 level, your mastery of 滋润 (zīrùn) should be indistinguishable from that of a highly educated native speaker. You can use the word to navigate the most subtle nuances of meaning. You might use it in a philosophical discussion about the 'nourishment' of the soul, or in a high-level business context to describe a 'prosperous' (滋润) market condition for a particular company. You are expected to understand the historical evolution of the characters 滋 and 润 and how they have combined to form this essential concept in the Chinese lexicon. You should be able to appreciate and use the word in classical-style poetry or highly formal speeches. For example, in a graduation speech, you might speak of how the university's academic atmosphere has '滋润' the students' intellectual curiosity. You also understand the subtle irony or sarcasm that can be employed with this word; for instance, calling someone's life '太滋润了' might imply they are becoming complacent or lazy because things are too easy. Your command of 滋润 at this level is not just about the word itself, but about the vast web of cultural, historical, and emotional associations it carries in the Chinese mind.

滋润 30초 만에

滋润 (zīrùn) means 'to moisten' or 'to nourish,' focusing on beneficial moisture that promotes health and vitality in plants, skin, or the soul.
It acts as a verb (to hydrate) and an adjective (moist/comfortable), frequently appearing in skincare ads and descriptions of a prosperous lifestyle.
Unlike the neutral 'wet' (湿), 滋润 is always positive, implying that the moisture provided is exactly what is needed for growth and comfort.
Commonly used in the idiom '过得滋润' (guò de zīrùn) to describe someone living a high-quality, stress-free, and financially stable life.

The Chinese word 滋润 (zīrùn) is a beautiful, multi-layered term that primarily translates to 'to moisten' or 'to nourish.' At its most basic level, it describes the physical act of providing moisture to something that is dry, but its usage extends far beyond simple hydration. In Chinese culture and language, moisture is often equated with vitality, health, and prosperity. When you use the word 滋润, you are not just saying something is wet; you are implying that it is being revitalized or maintained in a healthy, supple state. This word is a staple in daily conversations ranging from skincare routines to descriptions of the weather, and even to the quality of one's life. It carries a deeply positive connotation, suggesting a state of being well-cared for and flourishing.

Etymological Roots: The first character, 滋 (zī), contains the water radical (氵) and relates to growth, increase, and juice. It suggests a sense of overflowing or abundance. The second character, 润 (rùn), also features the water radical and means to moisten, polish, or benefit. Together, they form a concept of 'nourishing moisture' that brings out the best in an object.

春雨滋润了干渴的大地。(The spring rain moistened the thirsty earth.)

In the context of physical health, 滋润 is frequently used to describe the effect of drinking water on a dry throat or applying lotion to dry skin. If you go to a cosmetics store in China, you will see this word on almost every moisturizing product. It suggests that the product doesn't just sit on the surface but penetrates and enriches the skin. Furthermore, the word is used metaphorically to describe a life that is comfortable and free of financial or emotional hardship. If someone says their life is 'very 滋润,' they mean they are living well, perhaps with a good job, a happy family, and plenty of leisure time.

Daily Application: You will hear this in restaurants when talking about soups that are good for the body (滋润肺部 - nourishing the lungs) or in social settings when admiring someone's youthful appearance, which is often attributed to being well-nourished.

这碗汤很滋润，正适合冬天喝。(This soup is very nourishing; it's perfect for winter.)

The word also appears in literary contexts to describe the influence of a great teacher or a beautiful piece of art. Just as rain nourishes the soil, knowledge and kindness can '滋润' the soul or the mind. This abstract usage elevates the word from a simple physical description to a philosophical concept of growth and enrichment. It is a word that captures the Chinese appreciation for balance and the life-giving properties of water.

他的生活过得很滋润。(He is living a very comfortable and well-off life.)

Using 滋润 correctly requires understanding its dual role as both a verb and an adjective. As a verb, it typically follows the pattern [Subject] + 滋润 + [Object]. The subject is usually the source of moisture (like rain, water, or cream), and the object is the thing being benefited (like soil, skin, or throat). As an adjective, it often follows an intensifying adverb like 很 (hěn - very) or 非常 (fēicháng - extremely) to describe a state of being moist or a state of living well.

Verb Usage Pattern: [Moisture Source] + 滋润 + [Recipient]. Example: 露水滋润了花草 (Dew moistened the flowers and grass). Note the use of 了 (le) to indicate the action has taken place.

这种面霜可以滋润干燥的皮肤。(This face cream can moisten dry skin.)

When used as an adjective, 滋润 describes a quality. For example, '皮肤很滋润' means the skin is well-hydrated and healthy-looking. When applied to people's lives, '日子过得滋润' (living a moist life) is a common idiomatic expression. It implies that the person has no worries, similar to how a well-watered plant has no struggle to survive. This is a very common way to compliment someone's lifestyle or current state of affairs without being overly formal.

退休以后，他的日子过得非常滋润。(After retiring, his life has been very comfortable.)

In more formal or literary contexts, 滋润 can take abstract objects. For instance, '艺术滋润了人们的心灵' (Art nourished people's souls). Here, the 'moisture' is metaphorical, representing inspiration and emotional fulfillment. It is important to distinguish this from 湿润 (shīrùn), which is more neutral and simply means 'humid' or 'damp.' You wouldn't say your soul is 'shīrùn' (damp), but you would say it is 'zīrùn' (nourished).

Adjectival Usage: [Noun] + [Adverb] + 滋润. Example: 她的脸色看起来很滋润 (Her complexion looks very healthy and radiant).

雨后的空气非常滋润。(The air after the rain is very refreshing and moist.)

Finally, consider the negative form. To say something is not moisturizing, you use 不滋润 (bù zīrùn). For example, '这支口红一点也不滋润' (This lipstick is not moisturizing at all). This is a common complaint in product reviews. In summary, whether you are talking about the weather, skincare, or the quality of life, 滋润 is your go-to word for 'good' moisture that leads to health and comfort.

You will encounter 滋润 in a variety of real-world settings in China. One of the most common places is in the beauty and personal care industry. Television commercials, social media influencers (KOLs), and product packaging for lotions, serums, and lip balms use this word incessantly. It is the gold standard for what a moisturizing product should achieve. When a beauty blogger says a product is '滋润而不油腻' (moisturizing but not greasy), they are giving it a high compliment that resonates with millions of consumers looking for the perfect skin balance.

Skincare Marketing: In any Watsons or Sephora in China, '深层滋润' (deeply moisturizing) is the most common phrase on winter skincare displays.

这款润肤露能给肌肤持久的滋润。(This body lotion provides long-lasting moisture to the skin.)

Another frequent context is in the culinary world, specifically within the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Cantonese 'slow-cooked' soups (老火靓汤). In Southern China, especially Guangdong and Hong Kong, people believe that certain foods have the power to '滋润' the body's internal systems. During the dry autumn months, you will hear people recommending '滋润' foods like pears, white fungus, or honey to prevent a dry cough or sore throat. This isn't just about drinking water; it's about consuming specific nutrients that 'moisten' the lungs and throat from the inside out.

秋天要多吃点梨，滋润一下。(In autumn, eat more pears to stay nourished/moistened.)

In social circles, the word is used to describe a person's general well-being. If you haven't seen an old friend in a long time and they look healthy, happy, and perhaps a bit more prosperous, you might say, '你最近过得挺滋润啊！' (You've been living quite a comfortable life lately!). It's a friendly observation that they seem to be flourishing. You'll also hear it in news reports or documentaries talking about how a new policy or a new irrigation system has '滋润' a local community, bringing wealth and growth to an area that was previously 'dry' or struggling.

Social Observation: Used to describe someone who has a stable job, good income, and low stress. It implies they are 'soaking up' the good life.

他找了一份好工作，日子过得越来越滋润了。(He found a good job, and his life is becoming more and more comfortable.)

One of the most frequent mistakes learners make is confusing 滋润 (zīrùn) with 湿润 (shīrùn). While both words involve moisture, they are used in very different contexts. 湿润 is a more neutral, descriptive term for 'humid' or 'damp.' You would use 湿润 to describe the climate of a coastal city or the state of the air. 滋润, however, is almost always positive and implies nourishment. You wouldn't say a humid basement is 滋润, but you would say a garden after a light rain is 滋润. 滋润 implies that the moisture is beneficial to the thing receiving it.

滋润 vs. 湿润: Use 湿润 for weather and physical dampness (e.g., eyes welling up). Use 滋润 for skincare, health, and a comfortable lifestyle.

错误：地下室很滋润。(Incorrect: The basement is very nourishingly moist.) -> 正确：地下室很湿润。(Correct: The basement is very damp.)

Another mistake is using 滋润 to describe something that is simply 'wet' (湿 - shī). If you spill water on your shirt, the shirt is 湿, not 滋润. 滋润 involves a process of absorption and enrichment. It is a state of being 'optimally moist' rather than just having water on the surface. Similarly, when using it to describe a comfortable life, learners sometimes forget the verb '过' (guò). Saying '他的生活很滋润' is acceptable, but '他的日子过得很滋润' is much more natural and idiomatic in spoken Chinese.

错误：雨水是滋润大地。(Incorrect: Rain is moisten the earth.) -> 正确：雨水滋润了大地。(Correct: Rain moistened the earth.)

Finally, be careful with the register. While 滋润 is common in daily speech, using it in a very formal scientific report about hydrology might be slightly out of place, as it carries a poetic or subjective sense of 'benefit.' In a lab setting, terms like '含水量' (water content) or '加湿' (humidify) are more appropriate. However, in any context involving human well-being, beauty, or nature's bounty, 滋润 is the perfect choice. Avoid using it for negative types of moisture, like mold or sweat, as these do not 'nourish' the object they affect.

Register Check: Avoid using 滋润 for: sweat, mold, spills, or flooded areas. These are '湿' (wet) but not '滋润' (nourishing).

错误：他出汗了，衣服很滋润。(Incorrect: He sweated, so his clothes are nourishingly moist.)

To truly master 滋润, it helps to compare it with its synonyms and related terms. The most direct synonym in terms of 'nourishment' is 滋养 (zīyǎng). While 滋润 focuses on the moisture aspect, 滋养 is broader and focuses on nutrients and growth. You '滋润' a dry throat with water, but you '滋养' the body with healthy food and vitamins. In skincare, a product might be both '滋润' (moisturizing) and '滋养' (nutritive). If you want to emphasize the 'feeding' aspect rather than the 'wetting' aspect, 滋养 is the better choice.

滋润 vs. 滋养: 滋润 = Moisture-focused (Water radical 氵). 滋养 = Nutrient-focused (Food radical 饣). Example: 滋润皮肤 (moisten skin) vs. 滋养身体 (nourish the body).

这种护发素能深层滋养秀发。(This conditioner can deeply nourish your hair.)

Another related word is 润泽 (rùnzé). This is a more literary and formal term. It describes something that is not just moist but also has a healthy luster or sheen. You might use 润泽 to describe the surface of a fine piece of jade or the glowing complexion of a healthy person in a poem. While 滋润 is the action or the basic state, 润泽 is the beautiful result. If you are writing a formal essay or a poem, 润泽 adds a layer of elegance that 滋润 lacks.

雨后的叶子显得格外润泽。(The leaves after the rain appeared exceptionally lustrous and moist.)

For the 'comfortable life' meaning of 滋润, alternatives include 惬意 (qièyì - cozy/satisfied) and 舒服 (shūfu - comfortable). However, 惬意 focuses on the feeling of satisfaction, and 舒服 is a general term for physical or mental comfort. Neither captures the specific imagery of 'being well-watered' that 滋润 provides. In slang, people might use '爽' (shuǎng) to mean 'feeling great,' but 滋润 is more about a sustained state of well-being rather than a momentary burst of pleasure. Understanding these nuances allows you to choose the word that fits the exact 'flavor' of the situation.

Life Quality Comparison: 滋润: Prosperous and smooth (like a plant in good soil). 惬意: Mentally satisfied and relaxed. 舒服: General physical comfort.

他在家乡过着惬意的生活。(He lives a cozy and satisfied life in his hometown.)

어원

The word is a compound of two characters that have existed since ancient Chinese. '滋' originally referred to the rising of water or the growth of plants due to water. '润' originally meant the soaking of water into a surface or the benefit/profit derived from it.

원래 의미: To provide water for growth and to make surfaces smooth and glossy.

문화적 맥락

Be careful not to sound too envious when saying someone's life is '滋润'; it can sometimes sound like you are pointing out their privilege.

In English, we use 'moist' (which can be polarizing), 'nourishing,' or 'well-off.' '滋润' combines all these into one positive concept.

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

No, that would be '湿' (shī). 滋润 implies the moisture is being absorbed and is beneficial. A wet floor is just wet and potentially dangerous.

Yes, it usually is! It means you look like you are living well and have no major worries. However, depending on the tone, it can sometimes imply someone is getting a bit too comfortable or lazy.

补水 (bǔshuǐ) literally means 'adding water' (hydrating). 滋润 (zīrùn) is the state of being moist and nourished. In skincare, you '补水' to achieve a '滋润' result.

Usually, we use '湿润' (shīrùn) for eyes, especially when they are teary. However, you can use '滋润' for eye drops that are meant to nourish dry eyes.

Yes, it typically appears in HSK 5 or 6, but its components and basic meaning are useful much earlier.

Yes, but mostly for foods that are considered 'moistening' for the body in TCM, like pears or soups, rather than describing the texture of a cake (which would be '松软' or '湿润').

You can say '滋润乳液' (zīrùn rǔyè) or '润肤露' (rùnfūlù).

Not directly. You would use it for their 'temperament' (性情) or 'soul' (心灵) being nourished by something, but it doesn't describe an 'outgoing' or 'shy' personality.

The opposite is '干燥' (gānzào - dry) or '起皮' (qǐpí - peeling).

Yes, metaphorically. If a company is doing very well and has plenty of cash, you might say they are '过得很滋润'.
