Definition
光滑 describes a surface that is smooth to the touch and glossy in appearance, like polished jade or silk. Unlike 滑 (huá), which emphasizes slipperiness (often causing slipping), 光滑 focuses on the tactile smoothness and shine. It also differs from 润 (rùn), which adds a sense of moisture and lustre (e.g., healthy skin).
