Definition
迭起 (dié qǐ) means 'to arise repeatedly' and describes events that occur in quick succession, one after another — e.g., climaxes in a performance or repeated conflicts. 兴起 (xīng qǐ) instead focuses on something new emerging or becoming popular for the first time, like a movement or trend. 迭起 is more literary and often appears in formal or written contexts.
