蜜月

• 병음: mì yuè
• 한자 분석: 蜜 = 宓 (phonetic) + 虫 (insect) — honey; 月 = pictograph of the moon — month, moon

뜻

신혼여행; (비유) 밀월기

Borrowed from the Western concept of the honeymoon trip. In modern Chinese usage, 蜜月 has extended beyond marriage to describe any initial phase of exceptional warmth and goodwill — between countries, companies, or individuals entering into a new cooperative relationship. The end of a 蜜月期 often signals the start of real tensions.
