关于 (guānyú) usually points to a range or scope, acting like the English word "about." It can be used in a few ways, often marking a topic of a statement or modifying a noun.

* [[#Used_for_Topic-Marking|1 Used for Topic-Marking]] ** [[#Structure|1.1 Structure]] ** [[#Examples|1.2 Examples]] * [[#Used_as_Part_of_a_Modifier|2 Used as Part of a Modifier]] ** [[#Structure_2|2.1 Structure]] ** [[#Examples_2|2.2 Examples]] * [[#Unspoken_.E5.85.B3.E4.BA.8E|3 Unspoken 关于]] * [[#See_also|4 See also]] * [[#Sources_and_further_reading|5 Sources and further reading]] ** [[#Books|5.1 Books]]
== Used for Topic-Marking == === Structure === As an adverb/adverbial clause, it can only be placed at the beginning of the sentence.
关于 + Obj. ，⋯⋯
=== Examples ===
* ''关于'' 中国 历史，我 知道 的 不多。''Guānyú'' Zhōngguó lìshǐ, wǒ zhīdào de bù duō.As for Chinese history, I don't know a lot. * ''关于'' 这 次 考试，我 还 有 几 个 问题 要 问。''Guānyú'' zhè cì kǎoshì, wǒ hái yǒu jǐ gè wèntí yào wèn.As for this exam, I still have a lot of questions that I need to ask. * ''关于'' 这个 问题，你们 还是 问 他 吧。''Guānyú'' zhège wèntí, nǐmen háishì wèn tā bā.As for this problem, you'd better ask him. * ''关于'' 你 的 建议，老板 还在 考虑 。''Guānyú'' nǐ de jiànyì, lǎobǎn hái zài kǎolǜ.As for your suggestion, the boss is still thinking it over. * ''关于'' 调查 结果，我们 也 不 太 清楚 。''Guānyú'' diàochá jiéguǒ, wǒmen yě bù tài qīngchu.As for the result of that research, we don't know much either.
== Used as Part of a Modifier == As an attributive modifier, 关于 (guānyú) is placed before the noun phrase, and you should always add a 的. === Structure ===
关于 ⋯⋯ 的 + Noun
=== Examples ===
* 这 是 一 份 ''关于'' 中国 奢侈品 市场 的 报告 。Zhè shì yī fèn ''guānyú'' Zhōngguó shēchǐ pǐn shìchǎng de bàogào.This is a report about the Chinese luxury market. * 汉语 有 很 多 ''关于'' 饮食 的 成语 。Hànyǔ yǒu hěn duō ''guānyú'' yǐnshí de chéngyǔ. There are lots of idioms about diet in Chinese. * 我 昨天 看 了 一 部 ''关于'' 动物 保护 的 纪录片 。Wǒ zuótiān kàn le yī bù ''guānyú'' dòngwù bǎohù de jìlùpiàn.I saw a documentary about animal protection yesterday. * 网上 有 很 多 ''关于'' 这 件 事情 的 评论 。Wǎngshang you hěn duō ''guānyú'' zhè jiàn shìqing de pínglùn.There are lots of comments about this matter online. * 他 写 过 很 多 ''关于'' 男女 平等 的 文章 。Tā xiě guo hěn duō ''guānyú'' nánnǚ píngděng de wénzhāng.He wrote many articles about gender equality.
== Unspoken 关于 == The word "about" often follows verbs in English, such as "talk about" or "ask about." In Chinese, however, this "about" meaning is built into the verb and no additional "about" word is needed, much like we don't say "discuss about" in English. A few examples:
* 我们 聊聊 你 的 新 工作 吧 。Wǒmen liáoliao nǐ de xīn gōngzuò ba.Let's talk about your new job. * 今天 开会 要 说说 公司 下 个 月 的 培训 。Jīntiān kāihuì yào shuōshuo gōngsī xià gè yuè de péixùn.Today, we need to hold a meeting about next month's company training.
