Usage notes

edit

Unlike in Japanese, where the term unambiguously refers to an inclusive lower bound, in Chinese the interval may be inclusive or exclusive depending on context. According to the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, legally speaking the interval is always inclusive: "民法所称的“以上”、“以下”、“以内”、“届满”,包括本数;所称的“不满”、“超过”、“以外”,不包括本数。"
