Definition
素养 (sù yǎng) refers to a cultivated quality, competence, or accomplishment in a specific domain such as culture, profession, or art. It differs from 修养 (xiū yǎng), which emphasizes the broader process of personal and moral self-cultivation and the resulting refinement. 素养 is more domain-specific and often used in compounds like 专业素养 (professional competence).
