Definition
器具 (qìjù) is a formal, collective term for 'utensils, implements, or apparatus' used in a specific domain (kitchen, medical, gardening). It is broader than 工具 (gōngjù 'tool, instrument for a task') and overlaps with 器械 (qìxiè 'equipment, apparatus'), but 器具 often implies everyday or specialized containers/implements rather than machinery or weapons.
