How it's used

Focuses on the physical act of showing someone the way through a complex or unfamiliar space. It implies a sense of responsibility for the person being led, often used when navigating difficult terrain or confusing city streets. While it can be used metaphorically for life guidance, it is most frequently encountered in practical, real-world navigation scenarios.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean teaching or mentoring in a general sense, as it is strictly tied to spatial navigation. For abstract guidance or advice, use words like 指點 or 教導 instead.
