النطق: shí shì qiú shì المعنى الحرفي: Seek truth from facts

الأصل والاستخدام

This idiom means seeking (求) truth (是) from actual facts (实事). It originated from the Han Dynasty 'Book of Han' describing the scholarly approach of Emperor Xian of Han. The phrase emphasizes basing conclusions on evidence rather than theory or wishful thinking. It became a guiding principle in modern Chinese political philosophy, particularly promoted by Deng Xiaoping. Modern usage advocates for pragmatic, evidence-based approaches in research, policy, and decision-making.
