How it's used

Primarily used to describe facial features, specifically the depth and definition of the nose, eyes, and jawline. Beyond physical appearance, it is frequently applied metaphorically to describe the general framework or initial draft of an abstract concept, such as a project or a story. It implies a sense of structure that is visible but perhaps not yet fully detailed.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with the English word outline in a purely physical sense, but it is rarely used for simple line drawings on paper. For a drawing or a silhouette, use 剪影 or 線條 instead.
