Definition
跨入 means 'to step into' or 'to enter' — used literally for crossing a threshold or entering a space (跨入门槛), and very commonly in figurative language for entering a new historical period, stage, or era (跨入新时代, 跨入21世纪). It is a resultative verb compound (跨 + 入) and is not separable. The focus is on the act of crossing a boundary into a new state or place.
