Definition
思路 (sīlù) refers to the 'train of thought' or 'line of reasoning' — the logical path your mind follows when solving a problem or developing an idea. It is more about the direction or structure of thinking than the content (想法 'idea') or the overall system (思想 'ideology'; 思维 'thinking process').
