Definition
根据地 refers to a 'base area' — a stronghold or center of operations, especially in a military or political context. In modern Chinese, it often evokes the revolutionary base areas of the Chinese Communist Party during the Anti-Japanese War and Civil War (e.g., 井冈山革命根据地). It can also be used metaphorically for any stronghold of support or activity.
