Definition
清新 (qīngxīn) describes something that is fresh, clean, and pleasantly pure — used for air, scents, tastes, or artistic styles. It focuses on a light, natural, and refreshing quality. 高明 (gāomíng) is unrelated: it means 'brilliant, highly skilled' (of a person, plan, or strategy), not a sensory freshness.
