How it's used

Often used in a slightly formal or strategic context, this term carries a sense of calculated wisdom rather than just a good idea. It is frequently paired with the classic idiom 走為上策, which is the most common way speakers encounter the word in daily life. Unlike casual words for ideas like 主意, this implies a high level of deliberation and foresight.

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a general adjective meaning good, but it is a noun that specifically refers to a strategic plan or a course of action. It is rarely used to describe simple things like a good restaurant or a nice gift.
