Definition
大踏步 is an adverbial phrase literally meaning 'big stride steps', used to describe moving forward with large, determined steps. In modern Chinese it functions as a verb complement or manner adverb, often in political or figurative contexts to emphasize rapid, resolute progress (e.g., 大踏步前进 'stride forward'). The source POS (n.) is incorrect—it behaves as an adverb/verb phrase.
