Definition
充实 (chōng shí) describes something substantial and fulfilling, often used for life, content, or arguments — it emphasizes depth and satisfaction. As a verb, it means 'to enrich' by adding substance (e.g., 充实自己). It differs from 丰富 (fēng fù), which focuses on variety and abundance (丰富的生活 = a varied life, not necessarily fulfilling). 充满 (chōng mǎn) is more literal 'full of' (e.g., 充满信心).
