The word 飞翔 is formed by combining two individual characters, each depicting a distinct aspect of flight. The first character, 飞 (fēi), pictographically resembles a bird with spread wings and simply means "to fly". The second, 翔 (xiáng), carries the meaning of "to soar" or "to glide" in wide, circling movements. Together, they create a composite image and concept that is more vivid and complete than either alone, evoking the full, graceful motion of a bird in flight, both the initial act of taking wing and the subsequent sustained, soaring glide.
