“Fieldwork” is an English term, originally “fieldwork” in the source language. In Western modern academia, it refers to the research activities scholars conduct while living within a group whose culture is different from their own or within their own cultural group. Many Chinese translations interpret it as “on-site investigation,” “on-site survey,” “on-site work,” or “on-site research.” While these terms may not fully translate each other, they are concise and easy to understand.
