Definition
第一手 (dì yī shǒu) means 'first-hand' and describes information or materials obtained directly from the original source. It focuses on the source being direct, while 亲身 (qīn shēn) emphasizes the person's own involvement or experience (e.g., personal experience). Both are adjectives, but 第一手 is more commonly used with documents, data, or reports.
