About
The Chinese word 跳出 (tiàochū) is a verb-object compound formed by combining the character 跳 (tiào), meaning "to jump" or "to leap," with the character 出 (chū), meaning "to exit" or "to go out." Literally, it describes the physical action of "jumping out" of a contained space. Figuratively, this spatial metaphor extends to describe breaking free from limitations, such as 跳出框架 (jumping out of a framework) to think outside the box, or 跳出舒适圈 (jumping out of the comfort zone) to embrace new challenges, thereby conveying a sense of proactive escape or transcendence from a confining situation, pattern, or mindset.
