Definition
This chengyu literally means 'one beat and it fits' — like two musicians falling into perfect rhythm after a single downbeat. You use it when two people or groups click immediately, agreeing or cooperating without any friction. It often describes instant rapport in ideas, teamwork, or romantic chemistry.
