Definition
此间 is a literary and formal noun meaning 'this place' or 'here'. It appears mainly in written Chinese, classical-style prose, official notices, and formal speeches — not in everyday spoken conversation. In modern contexts you'll encounter it in expressions like 此间风景 ('the scenery here') or 此间会议 ('this conference').
