航行

• 拼音: háng xíng
• 汉字拆解: 航 = 舟 (boat) + 亢 (upright/high, phonetic); 行 = crossroads pictograph — movement and travel

含义

To navigate; to sail or fly — to travel by ship, aircraft, or spacecraft along a determined course over a sustained distance.

Broader than 航海 (sea navigation only) — 航行 applies to ships, submarines, aircraft, and spacecraft. Also used figuratively: 人生的航行 (the voyage of life). More literary than colloquial and suggests purposeful, sustained travel. A key technical term in maritime, aviation, and aerospace contexts.
