Definition
冲开 is a resultative verb compound (V+开) meaning 'to force something open by rushing or pushing against it' — like water bursting a dam, a crowd breaking through a barrier, or a door being shoved open. It's used for physical breakthrough (洪水冲开堤坝) and metaphorical breakthrough (冲开束缚). The second character 开 indicates the result: the thing becomes open or separated.
