Definition
聚积 means 'to accumulate' or 'to build up' over time, often used for things that gather gradually — dust, wealth, experience, or water. It's a more formal, literary verb than 积累 (which is more common for abstract accumulation like knowledge or money). You can use it for both concrete and abstract subjects, but it carries a sense of gradual, layered buildup rather than a single collection event.
