-====== huīfù: 恢复 - Recover, Restore, Resume ======
-===== Quick Summary =====
-  * **Keywords:** huifu, huīfù, 恢复, how to say recover in Chinese, restore in Chinese, resume in Chinese, Chinese word for recovery, 恢复 meaning, Chinese health vocabulary, restore order Chinese, regain confidence, restore factory settings.
-  * **Summary:** The Chinese word **恢复 (huīfù)** is a versatile verb meaning to **recover, restore, or resume**. It describes the process of returning to a previous, normal, or healthy state. Whether you're talking about recovering from an illness, restoring a phone to its factory settings, resuming diplomatic talks, or simply regaining your energy after a long day, **恢复 (huīfù)** is the essential term. This page provides a deep dive into its meaning, cultural context, and practical usage in modern China.
-===== Core Meaning =====
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** huīfù
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 4
-  * **Concise Definition:** To return to a former, original, or normal state; to recover, restore, or resume.
-  * **In a Nutshell:** Think of **恢复 (huīfù)** as hitting the "reset" or "return to normal" button on a situation. It's the process of getting something—be it health, order, a relationship, or a digital system—back to the way it should be. It implies a previous state that was good or functional, and the action is to bring things back to that baseline.
-===== Character Breakdown =====
-  * **恢 (huī):** This character means "to restore" or "to make vast/great again." It carries the sense of bringing something back to its full, proper scope.
-  * **复 (fù):** This character means "to return," "again," or "to repeat." It's a common character seen in words like `复习 (fùxí)` (to review) and `重复 (chóngfù)` (to repeat). It signifies a return to a previous point.
-  * The combination **恢复 (huīfù)** literally means "to restore and return." The characters work together perfectly to mean the restoration of a previous, desirable state.
-===== Cultural Context and Significance =====
-  * In Chinese culture, there's a strong emphasis on balance and harmony (`和谐, héxié`). The concept of **恢复 (huīfù)** ties directly into this value. It's not just about "fixing" something that's broken, but about restoring a natural, balanced order. This applies to personal health, where Traditional Chinese Medicine aims to **恢复** the body's balance of //qi// (气), as well as to society, where the goal is often to **恢复** social order and stability after a period of disruption.
-  * **Comparison to Western Concepts:** In English, we have separate words like "recover" (for health), "restore" (for objects or systems), and "resume" (for activities). **恢复 (huīfù)** impressively covers all of these. While you might "repair" a car in English, which sounds mechanical, the Chinese equivalent `修理 (xiūlǐ)` is also mechanical. However, if traffic flow is disrupted by the broken-down car, the police would work to **恢复交通 (huīfù jiāotōng)**—restore the //state// of normal traffic. This focus on restoring a //state// or //condition// rather than just a physical object is a key cultural nuance of **恢复 (huīfù)**.

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes =====
-  * **`恢复 (huīfù)` vs. `康复 (kāngfù)`:** This is a crucial distinction.
-    * `康复 (kāngfù)` is //only// used for health recovery, especially in a medical context like rehabilitation (`康复中心` - rehabilitation center).
-    * `恢复 (huīfù)` is broad. You can `恢复` your health, but you can also `恢复` your data, `恢复` order, and `恢复` confidence. You **cannot** `康复` your data.
-    * **Rule of Thumb:** If it's not about health, use `恢复`. If it is about health, both can sometimes work, but `康复` sounds more formal and medical.
-  * **`恢复 (huīfù)` vs. `修理 (xiūlǐ)`:**
-    * `修理 (xiūlǐ)` means to physically repair a broken object. It's about fixing the mechanics of something. //Example: 我修理了我的手表 (Wǒ xiūlǐle wǒ de shǒubiǎo) - I repaired my watch.//
-    * `恢复 (huīfù)` means to restore a state, system, or condition.
-    * **Incorrect:** `我恢复我的自行车。` (Wǒ huīfù wǒ de zìxíngchē.) - This is wrong. It literally means "I restore my bicycle to a former state," which is awkward.
-    * **Correct:** `我修理我的自行车。` (Wǒ xiūlǐ wǒ de zìxíngchē.) - I repair my bicycle.
-    * **Correct:** `骑完车后，我需要时间恢复体力。` (Qí wán chē hòu, wǒ xūyào shíjiān huīfù tǐlì.) - After riding the bike, I need time to recover my strength.
-===== Related Terms and Concepts =====
-  * `[[康复]] (kāngfù)` - A close synonym used exclusively for recovering health, often in a formal or medical sense (rehabilitation).
-  * `[[复原]] (fùyuán)` - Very similar to `恢复`, often interchangeable. It can imply a more complete return to the original, undamaged state, both for health and for objects.
-  * `[[改善]] (gǎishàn)` - To improve or make better. This is different from `恢复`, which means returning to a previous good state, not necessarily surpassing it.
-  * `[[重建]] (chóngjiàn)` - To rebuild. Related because rebuilding is a form of restoration, but `重建` is specifically for physical structures or systems (e.g., rebuilding a city).
-  * `[[中断]] (zhōngduàn)` - An antonym; to interrupt, cut off, or suspend. This is the state of disruption you need to `恢复` from.
-  * `[[修理]] (xiūlǐ)` - To repair (a physical object). Contrasted with `恢复`'s focus on restoring a state or system.
-  * `[[正常]] (zhèngcháng)` - Normal. Often the goal state that one is trying to `恢复` to.
-  * `[[平衡]] (pínghéng)` - Balance. A state that is often restored, e.g., `恢复生态平衡` (restore ecological balance).
