Definition
激情 (jī qíng) is a noun meaning 'passion, fervor' — a strong, intense emotion often tied to romance, creativity, or deep conviction. Unlike the adjective 热情 (rè qíng, 'enthusiastic, warm'), which describes a person's friendly manner, 激情 refers to the powerful feeling itself. It is more intense than 兴致 (xìng zhì, 'interest, mood') or 干劲 (gàn jìn, 'drive in work').
