erosion侵蚀
[erosion qīn shí]
Erosion can refer both to 'the action of eroding' in physical geography and 'erosion (侵蚀)' in Chinese. It conveys an image of things being worn down or deteriorated over time by external forces, possibly signifying experiences of fading beauty or gradually vanishing cultural artifacts. It could also reflect a contemplative or melancholic attitude.
