Definition
飙升 (biāo shēng) means 'to soar, to skyrocket' and is used for dramatic, rapid increases in prices, temperatures, or statistics. It is stronger and more vivid than 上升 (general rise) and overlaps with 激增 (surge), but 飙升 specifically evokes a steep upward trajectory like a rocket. Unlike 飞跃 (leap forward, often figurative progress), 飙升 is concrete and data-driven.
