How is 上 used in this sentence?


I have trouble understanding what 上 means in this sentence.

> これからの人生を送る **上** でとても豊かな経験ができたことは一生の宝物！

If I had to interpret これからの人生を送る上で, it means "within my life from now on"? and
is the で particle is used to indicate scope of this person's life?

Can someone explain how 上 works here?




It's actually not just 上, it's the grammar pattern「Aする上で」. 「Aする上で」means
something like "When doing A". So your sentence means something like "The fact
that I have had a very rich experience will be very beneficial (a lifetime
treasure?) for my future life!" Though the lack of context makes this sentence
a bit weird.

Here are some example sentences from yourei.jp :

そのため、英語が苦手だと、実験を **作成するうえで** の自由度が制限される。 Therefore, if you're bad at English,
the degree of freedom **in creating experiments (when creating experiments)**
will be limited.

これまた西欧文明を **理解するうえで** 、忘れてはならないことでありましょう。 Again, let's not forget this **when
trying to understand** Western European civilization.

基本的に動物福祉を **説明するうえで** 以下の3つの概念が用いられる。 Basically, the following three concepts
are used to explain **(when explaining)** animal welfare.

もちろん、脳は世界を **認識するうえで** の「ハブ」となる大切な臓器です。 Of course, the brain is an important
organ that becomes a "hub" **in percepting (when percepting)** the world.

As you can see する上で can also be followed by の if there's a noun after it.
