纵向 (zòng xiàng) — longitudinal (along the length or axis); vertical (up-down direction)
Definition
纵向 means 'longitudinal / along the axis' — in data or research it contrasts with 横向 (HSK7), which goes 'across' different categories at one point. The existing 'vertical' gloss is loose; 纵向 pairs with 时间 or an axis, not screen up-down.
