Definition
描写 (miáo xiě) means to describe or depict in writing with care and detail, often used for characters, scenes, or psychological shifts in literature. It is more literary and nuanced than the general 描述 (miáo shù), and is strictly about written/verbal depiction, unlike 描绘 (miáo huì), which also applies to painting or vivid visual portrayal.
