How it is used
- A subtle charm / lingering appeal - the flavor that resonates - 这幅画很有韵味 (zhè fú huà hěn yǒu yùnwèi) this painting has real charm/depth.
- Aesthetic and literary; the implicit, hard-to-pin-down appeal of art, a voice, tea, or a person's bearing.
- Contrast 味道 (wèidào, taste/flavor literally) - 韵味 is refined, intangible charm, often cultural/artistic.
