How it's used
Focuses on the intensity or abundance of abstract qualities like energy, business, or growth. It implies a state of thriving or being at a peak level of activity. Unlike words describing physical strength, it is almost exclusively used for non-tangible concepts or collective states.
Examples
He has been very energetic lately and hardly needs any sleep.
This shop's business is so booming, no wonder there's a queue.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical health or individual strength directly, as it sounds unnatural. Use 精神 or 壯健 instead for people.
