Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

"深远" (shēnyuǎn) is an adjective describing something that is both profound (deep) and far-reaching (extensive in scope or influence). It often refers to effects, influence, ideas, or significance that extend over a long period or wide area.

Common Contexts

It is frequently used in formal or academic contexts to describe reforms, ideas, consequences, or significance that have a lasting and broad impact.

Collocations

  • 深远影响 (far-reaching impact): Used to describe effects that extend widely and deeply.
  • 深远意义 (profound significance): Highlights the deep and important meaning of something.
  • 深远思想 (profound ideas): Refers to thoughts or philosophies with deep insight and broad influence.

Usage Notes

"深远" is often paired with abstract nouns like 影响 (influence), 意义 (significance), and 思想 (thoughts). It conveys a sense of importance and lasting effect. Avoid using it for physical distance alone; it emphasizes metaphorical depth and breadth rather than literal spatial distance.

Common Confusion

Do not confuse "深远" with just "" (far) or "" (deep) alone. "深远" combines both meanings to express profound and extensive impact, which is stronger and more formal than either character alone.
