meaning of 家军?

[chavalit]

I can't find the meaning of 家军 in the dictionary I've got. But from the context it seems to be similar to 将军 (general). What does 家军 mean exactly?

[saiyo]

“家军” might be translated as "someone's family army". It is often used in the context of a sports team and following the coach's last name. The expression has some tint of a coaching style of being disciplined and authoritarian.

For example, “马家军” was named after 马俊仁（Ma3 Jun4ren2), who headed China's female long-distance running team in 2002 and fetched multiple golds home.

Hope that helps,

What does 家军 mean exactly?

Do you mean “X(surname)家军”?

X家 means “the Xs”.

X家军 originally means “General X’s army”.

In sports circles, X家军 means “X (the well-known coach’s surname)’s team”.

Thanks!

Yes, I saw it as "X(surname)家军“.

there is no single word "家军" in chinese.

if you find it in an article, it must be a name of some male,cause people who burned in 50's or 60's usually named this way...example: 李家军，王家军，杨家军

Do you mean “X(surname)家军”?

X家 means “the Xs”.

X家军 originally means “General X’s army”.

In sports circles, X家军 means “X (the well-known coach’s surname)’s team”

this way is right too.Do you ever heard of "杨家将" in dynasty 宋，it's a famous family army,and a legend story worth to read.
