How it works
"基于" is a formal preposition used to indicate the foundation, basis, or premise of an action, judgment, or decision. It is frequently used in written Chinese, academic papers, and official reports to introduce the reasoning behind a particular outcome.

Common mistakes
Users often confuse '基于' with '根据'. While both mean 'based on', '基于' focuses on the foundation or rationale, whereas '根据' is more commonly used for following specific instructions, data, or evidence.
Tip
Think of '基于' as the bridge between a theoretical foundation and a practical result. It is often replaceable by '根据' in casual contexts, but '基于' sounds more professional and high-level.
