How it's used

Refers primarily to the most important part or the central point of an argument, task, or physical object. It functions similarly to the English word "focus" but carries a stronger sense of structural importance or the "heart" of a situation. When discussing physical objects, it specifically denotes the center of gravity.

Common mistake

Avoid using it as a direct translation for "center" in a geographical sense, such as city center, where 市中心 is preferred. It is also not used for the center of a circle, which is 圓心.
