<abstract id="abst" lang="en">
<p id="pa01" num="0001">The present disclosure relates to the technical field of aerosol generation. The present disclosure provides a heating assembly (103) and an aerosol-generating apparatus (100). The heating assembly includes a heating element (10). The heating element includes a heating element base (11) and a heating circuit (12), the heating element base includes a main body portion (113) and a bottom wall (114), the main body portion and the bottom wall enclose to form a receiving chamber (111), and the receiving chamber is configured to accommodate an aerosol-generating article (200); an end of the receiving chamber away from the bottom wall is provided with a port (112), and the port is configured to enable the aerosol-generating article to be inserted into and removed from the receiving chamber; and the heating circuit is configured to generate heat after being energized, and the heating circuit is disposed on the bottom wall. The heating assembly of the present disclosure can reduce a heating area of the aerosol-generating article and lower a temperature of the aerosol inhaled by the user.
