Definition
学问 (xuéwen) refers to systematic, scholarly knowledge or learning, often implying depth and a field of study. It's more formal and bookish than 知识 (zhīshi 'knowledge, facts'), and narrower than 智慧 (zhìhuì 'wisdom, insight'). Think of it as 'erudition' or 'scholarship' rather than just information.
