Definition
Despite the pinyin given as 'zhēng', this word is actually pronounced 'zhèng pǐn' (the character 正 has two readings; here it is zhèng). It refers to an authentic, officially-manufactured product that meets a brand's quality standards — as opposed to a counterfeit (假货), a defective second, or a grey-market item. You see it in shopping contexts, warranty info, and product comparisons when someone wants to emphasize that something is legitimate and factory-original.
