== Used as "Towards" == 往 (wǎng) is a preposition that means "towards" and is used often when expressing or referring to an action. === Used before a Verb === ==== Structure ==== Adding 往 (wǎng) with a location or placement word, expresses the direction of the action.
往 + Direction / Place + Verb
==== Examples ====
* 一直 ''往'' 前 '''走''' 。Yīzhí ''wǎng'' qián '''zǒu'''.Go straight along. * ''往'' 左 '''拐''' 。''Wǎng'' zuǒ '''guǎi'''.Turn left. * ''往'' 上 '''看''' 。''Wǎng'' shàng '''kàn'''.Look up there. * 那个 小偷 ''往'' 东 '''跑''' 了 。Nàge xiǎotōu ''wǎng'' dōng '''pǎo''' le.That thief ran towards the east. * 不要 ''往'' 楼下 '''扔''' 垃圾 。Bùyào ''wǎng'' lóuxià '''rēng''' lājī.Don't throw trash downstairs. * 不要 ''往'' 我 家 '''打电话''' 了 ！Bùyào ''wǎng'' wǒ jiā '''dǎ diànhuà''' le!Stop calling my house!
=== Used after a Verb === In written language, 往 (wǎng) can be used after a few monosyllabic verbs, followed by adding location nouns. ==== Examples ====
* '''开''' ''往'' 北京 的 火车 '''Kāi''' ''wǎng'' Běijīng de huǒchēThe train that goes to Beijing. * '''飞''' ''往'' 纽约 的 飞机 '''Fēi''' ''wǎng'' Niǔyuē de fēijīThe airplane that flies to New York. * '''运''' ''往'' 国外 的 货物 '''Yùn''' ''wǎng'' guówài de huòwùThe cargos that are shipped overseas.
== 往下 as "Keep Going" == 往下 (wǎng xià) expresses "keep going" , which means that the process has been interrupted before. The verbs that follow are usually sensory verbs: 说 speaking, 读 reading, 写 writing, 看 watching and 听 listening. === Examples ===
* ''往'' 下 '''说''' 。''Wǎng'' xià '''shuō'''.Keep talking. * ''往'' 下 '''读''' 。 ''Wǎng'' xià '''dú'''.Keep reading. * 你 ''往'' 下 '''看''' 就 知道 了 。Nǐ ''wǎng'' xià '''kàn''' jiù zhīdào le.Keep reading it and then you will figure out.
