Definition
风华正茂 is a four-character idiom (成语) meaning 'in one's prime' or 'at the height of one's youth and vigor'. The literal components — 风 'wind', 华 'flower', 正 'just', 茂 'luxuriant' — do not directly convey the figurative meaning, which describes someone in the bloom of youth, full of talent and energy. It is commonly used to praise young people in their twenties or thirties who are achieving or capable.
