Definition
聚精会神 is an idiom meaning 'to concentrate fully' — it describes giving all one's attention to a specific activity (e.g., reading or solving a problem). Its literal image 'gather essence, assemble spirit' highlights intense momentary focus. 一心一意 (yī xīn yī yì) means 'single-minded, wholehearted', emphasizing devoted commitment to a goal or person rather than the act of concentrating.
