Definition
This four-character idiom (成语) literally means 'one glance without omission'. It describes a scene or display so open and unobstructed that you can see everything at once — a panoramic view or a comprehensive presentation. It is often used in travel writing, exhibition descriptions, or when praising a clear, sweeping overview of a situation.
