About

The Chinese word **飞跃** (fēi yuè) is a compound term formed by combining two characters with related meanings: **飞** (fēi), meaning "to fly," and **跃** (yuè), meaning "to leap" or "to jump." This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where two synonymous or semantically connected verbs are paired to create a single, more vivid or abstract concept. Together, they produce a metaphorical meaning that transcends the simple sum of its parts, signifying a "great leap forward," a "rapid breakthrough," or a dramatic, qualitative advancement, much like leaping into flight. This process exemplifies how Chinese often uses logical conceptual blends to generate new vocabulary.
