Definition
远见 (yuǎn jiàn) specifically means 'foresight, long-term perspective' — the ability to think ahead and plan for the future. It differs from 目光 (mù guāng) and 眼光 (yǎn guāng), which also carry figurative senses of 'vision' but primarily refer to one's gaze, insight, or aesthetic taste. 预见 (yù jiàn) is closer but emphasizes the act of foreseeing specific outcomes rather than the general quality of looking ahead.
