演戏

• 拼音: yǎn xì
• 汉字拆解: 演 = 氵(water) + 寅 (extend/unfold — water flowing, hence a performance unfolding); 戏 = 戈 (weapon) + 虚 (empty/void — staged conflict)

含义

To act in a play; to put on a performance; figuratively, to pretend or put on an act. Covers both literal stage performance and the sense of feigning emotion or behaviour.

In formal or literary contexts refers to theatrical performance. In everyday speech often used figuratively to describe someone who is insincere, performing emotions for effect, or staging a scene to deceive others. Common in phrases like 别演戏了 (stop pretending).
