Definition
图解 has two main verb senses. The literal sense means 'to explain or illustrate with diagrams' (e.g., 图解技术). The figurative sense is pejorative: 'to analyze in an overly rigid, formulaic, or oversimplified way,' often used in criticism of shallow thinking. Note that the same characters can also be a noun meaning 'diagram' or 'figure,' but that usage is not covered by the verb POS in this entry.
