风生水起 (fēng shēng shuǐ qǐ)

from Chinese Word of the Day | 每日一词 · host Gallant Guo

特师的每日一词,2026年1月11日的词汇是:风 fēng 生 shēng 水 shuǐ 起 qǐ释义 Definition风生水起的意思是形容事情发展得很有活力、很兴旺。风 fēng 生 shēng 水 shuǐ 起 qǐ means to describe something developing with great vitality and prosperity.例句 Example近期的《财经》杂志中,有篇标题为《“掘金”柬埔寨》的文章,作者孙颖妮是这样用这个词的:「在柬埔寨,贺建葛的防水材料生意做得风生水起,他每天奔波在金边不同的工地现场和项目上,忙碌但干劲十足。」这里说的是这位贺建葛先生在柬埔寨的生意非常红火。In a recent issue of Caijing Magazine, an article titled '“掘金”柬埔寨' by Sun Yingni uses this phrase as follows: 'In Cambodia, He Jiangge's waterproofing materials business is doing 风 fēng 生 shēng 水 shuǐ 起 qǐ; he shuttles between different construction sites and projects in Phnom Penh every day, busy but full of drive.' This refers to Mr. He Jiangge's business thriving remarkably in Cambodia.你知道吗? Did You Know?风生水起这个成语来自风水,原指风水好、气场活跃,现在多用来形容事业或生意兴旺发达。和它意思相近的词有“红红火火”,但风生水起更强调一种动态的、充满活力的发展状态。比如你可以说:“他的新公司开业后,业务很快就做得风生水起。”或者“这个行业近年来发展得风生水起。”The idiom 风 fēng 生 shēng 水 shuǐ 起 qǐ originates from feng shui, originally meaning good feng shui and an active energy flow, but now it is mostly used to describe flourishing careers or businesses. A similar term is '红红火火', but 风 fēng 生 shēng 水 shuǐ 起 qǐ emphasizes a more dynamic and energetic state of development. For example, you could say: 'After his new company opened, the business quickly became 风 fēng 生 shēng 水 shuǐ 起 qǐ.' or 'This industry has developed 风 fēng 生 shēng 水 shuǐ 起 qǐ in recent years.'
