            The current general word for reaching a place or even an abstract stage is jí 及.

              Word relations
            • Result: 逐/PURSUE The current general word for pursuing something or going after something in a hostile way, driving what is pursued before one, competing with it for speed, is zhú 逐 and the word can only very occasionally refer to abstract pursuits like that of wisdom, as in the venatio sapientiae of Nicolas Cusanus. It is significant that the word currently means "to expel", where expelling and chasing are not always easy to distinguish.
            • Ant: 過/EXCESSIVE Guò 過 often, but not always, focusses on the aspect of transgression in excessiveness.
            • Synon: 逮/REACH Dài 逮 refers to catching up or reaching a certain desirable stage or level of achievement. See also CATCH UP.
