Definition
呼应 (hū yìng) means 'to correspond with, to echo each other' in a harmonious, coordinated way — often used for colors, styles, or parts of a text that complement each other. Unlike 符合 (fú hé), which is about matching a standard or requirement, 呼应 emphasizes mutual resonance. Unlike 附和 (fù hè), which means blindly echoing others (negative), 呼应 is neutral and positive.
