Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

"飞翔" (fēi xiáng) specifically describes the action of flying with a sense of circling, soaring, or gliding in the air. It is often used for birds, airplanes, or objects like kites that move gracefully through the sky.

Common Contexts

This word is more poetic or descriptive than simply "" (to fly). It emphasizes the motion of hovering or circling rather than just moving from one place to another. For example, birds "飞翔" when they soar freely, and airplanes "飞翔" when circling before landing.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 飞翔天空 (to soar in the sky): emphasizes freedom and grace.
  • 自由飞翔 (to fly freely): highlights unrestricted movement.
  • 飞翔 (birds that are soaring): a common phrase in literature or nature descriptions.

Usage Notes

"飞翔" is often used in written or formal contexts, such as literature, news reports, or poetic descriptions. It is less common in casual speech where "" might suffice. Avoid confusing it with "" which focuses more on the act of flying or piloting rather than the graceful circling or hovering implied by "飞翔."

Example Sentences
