Definition
驰骋 is a literary verb originally meaning 'to gallop (a horse) at full speed,' used literally for horseback riding. It extends figuratively to mean 'to play an active part' or 'to roam freely' in a domain (e.g., 驰骋文坛 'to be active in literary circles'). It is more formal and vivid than 跑 or 奔驰.
