斯文 (sī wén) — the refined culture of the literati; scholarly refinement
Definition
斯文 refers to the cultivated refinement of the classical scholar (读书人) — a cultural ideal, not just good manners. At HSK 7 it stays close to its literati sense; only loosely extends to meaning 'gentle/refined' in modern usage.
