Definition
高瞻远瞩 is a four-character idiom meaning 'to stand high and see far' — it describes someone with long-term vision and strategic foresight, often used to praise leaders, planners, or decision-makers who think beyond immediate concerns. The literal imagery of 'gazing from a height' reinforces the idea of broad, forward-thinking perspective.
