How it's used
Commonly used to describe liquids or small particles flying out suddenly under pressure. It carries a sense of force and unexpectedness, distinguishing it from simple spilling or leaking. You will often hear it used when something hits a surface and scatters, like grease from a frying pan or water from a puddle.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 爆, which focuses on the act of breaking or exploding itself. Use 迸 when you want to emphasize the outward movement or spraying of the contents after the break occurs.
