其时

其时 is an adverbial phrase meaning 'at that time' or 'during that period.' It is used to indicate a specific moment in the past, often in historical or narrative contexts.

The character 其 (qí) means 'its' or 'that,' and 时 (shí) means 'time' or 'moment.' Together, they form a phrase that refers to a particular point in time, often used in written or formal speech.

其时 is commonly found in classical Chinese texts, historical records, and literary works. It helps to establish temporal context, making it useful for describing events that occurred at a specific moment in the past. It is less frequently used in modern spoken Chinese but remains important in formal writing and academic contexts.
