The Chinese word 寻欢作乐 is formed by combining two verb-object compounds into a fixed four-character idiom: the first compound, 寻欢, consists of the verb 寻 (to seek) and its object 欢 (pleasure), and the second, 作乐, consists of the verb 作 (to make) and its object 乐 (enjoyment). These two parallel structures are juxtaposed to create a single phrase that denotes the active pursuit and engagement in pleasurable activities.
