通红

• 拼音: tōng hóng
• 汉字拆解: 通 = thoroughly, completely; 红 = red — completely red, bright red

Completely red; bright red; flushed. Describing something that is entirely red throughout.

Used for intense, all-over redness. Common uses: 脸涨得通红 (face flushed red with embarrassment/anger), 眼睛哭得通红 (eyes red from crying), 烧得通红 (heated until red-hot), 通红的炉火 (glowing red fire). 通 here means 'completely' or 'thoroughly.' More emphatic than just saying 红.
