Definition
展现 (zhǎn xiàn) means to display or reveal something (often abstract, like ability, beauty, a situation) as it unfolds or becomes apparent. Compared to 展示 (zhǎnshì), which is more about intentionally exhibiting something (e.g., at a fair), 展现 emphasizes something being revealed or coming into view naturally.
