Definition
文采 is a noun with two main senses. The primary modern sense refers to literary talent or elegance in writing — the skill of crafting beautiful, expressive prose or verse. The second sense, now largely literary or classical, refers to rich, bright colors or colorful patterns (as in painting or nature). In everyday use, you'll almost always encounter the 'literary talent' sense.
