Definition
深远 describes something that has a far-reaching, long-lasting effect or significance, usually for abstract things like policies, ideas, or influence. It is broader than 深刻 (deep, penetrating thoughts/impressions) and 长远 (long-term, of time/planning), as 深远 combines both depth and duration.
