About
The word 推动 (tuīdòng) is a compound verb formed through the common Chinese morphological process of verb-verb complementation, where the first character 推 (tuī), meaning "to push" or "to promote", acts upon and modifies the second character 动 (dòng), meaning "to move" or "to set in motion". Together, they create a synergistic meaning where the action of "pushing" directly causes the result of "moving", thus forming a single lexical unit that means "to propel", "to drive forward", or "to promote" the development or progress of something, whether physically or abstractly. This structure is analogous to English phrasal verbs like "push forward".
