Definition
日趋 (rì qū) is a formal, literary adverb meaning 'day by day, increasingly' — it describes a gradual trend that changes with each passing day. It's similar to 日益 (rì yì), but 日趋 suggests 'tending toward' a direction, while 日益 emphasizes 'increasing'. Unlike 逐渐 and 渐渐, 日趋 is used only in written or formal contexts.
