Definition
风华 is a literary term that combines 风 (grace, style) and 华 (splendor, talent) to describe a person's refined elegance and striking talent. It is most often encountered in the set phrase 风华正茂 (fēng huá zhèng mào), meaning 'in one's prime' — used to praise someone who is young, talented, and full of vitality. Outside the idiom, 风华 appears in formal or poetic writing, not in everyday conversation.
