How to Write 迸 (bèng) — Meaning “To burst; to gush”

Picture a water pipe (辶) that has two sides (并) suddenly splitting open, sending water 'bursting' out everywhere. The two parts of 并 look like two separate channels that meet and explode.

First write the outer component 并 (left to right: horizontal, left-down, right-down, then the long vertical line), then add 辶 last. A common mistake is making the 辶 too small or too wide; the top-left opening of 辶 should align with the middle of 并, not the top.

迸 has 并 inside and means 'burst/gush', while 迎 (yíng) uses 卬 and means 'welcome', and 运 (yùn) uses 云 and means 'transport'. Visually, the inside part is different: 并 (two parallel strokes with a vertical), 卬 (a bent shape), and 云 (cloud-like).

迸 appears in formal or literary contexts to describe sudden, forceful outbursts, like 迸发 (erupt) for emotions or water, and 迸裂 (burst apart) for rocks or containers. It is not common in everyday speech but is vivid in news or stories describing explosive actions.

Common words containing 迸 include: 迸发 (bèng fā) — To burst forth; to erupt; 迸出 (bèng chū) — To burst out; to spurt; 迸裂 (bèng liè) — To burst apart; to crack.
