Definition
浮现 (fúxiàn) describes memories, thoughts, or images appearing in one's mind or before the eyes (e.g., a face or a past event). It is more specific than 出现 (chūxiàn), which covers any kind of appearance, and more intimate than 呈现 (chéngxiàn), used for scenes or qualities being presented. Unlike 涌现 (yǒngxiàn 'emerge in large numbers'), 浮现 focuses on a single, often involuntary mental image.
