How it's used
Evokes a strong visual sense of overwhelming abundance or complete coverage across a landscape. While it functions as an adjective, it is most frequently used as a predicate following the particle 係 or simply describing the state of a scene. It is often used to describe natural phenomena like flowers, snow, or grass rather than man-made objects.
Examples
In autumn, red leaves cover the mountains and plains.
