手中

手中 means 'in hand' or 'in one's possession.' It refers to something physically held or under one's control, often implying ownership or immediate availability.

The character 手 (shǒu) means 'hand,' and 中 (zhōng) means 'middle' or 'center.' Together, they literally translate to 'in the middle of the hand,' but the phrase is used figuratively to mean 'in one's possession' or 'under one's control.'

手中 is commonly used in daily conversations to describe things someone has, such as a phone, a document, or even a plan. It can also be used metaphorically, like 'in the hands of someone,' which conveys trust or responsibility.
