中旬

• 拼音: zhōng xún
• 汉字拆解: 中 = middle; 旬 = 勹 + 日 (enclosing + sun — ten-day cycle)

含义

The middle ten days of a month; mid-month. Days 11-20 of any month.

Part of the traditional Chinese month division: 上旬 (1st-10th), 中旬 (11th-20th), 下旬 (21st-end). Used in formal writing, news reports, and scheduling. More precise than saying 'mid-month' in English.
