Definition
修长 (xiūcháng) describes a tall and elegantly slim figure, often for limbs or overall stature. It differs from 苗条 (miáotiao), which specifically refers to a woman's slim, graceful figure, and from 细 (xì), which means 'thin' in a general or fine-texture sense, not necessarily tall.
adjective
