Definition
体现 (tǐxiàn) means 'to embody or reflect an abstract quality, principle, or ideal' — it describes something that inherently shows or represents that quality. Compare 反映 (fǎnyìng): 反映 is broader, used for mirroring an image, reporting information, or reflecting a situation; 体现 is more about an intrinsic, concrete manifestation of an abstract idea.
