📜 Origin Story
The idiom comes from the modern essay 'Light of Geology' (《地质之光》) by the Chinese writer Xu Chi (徐迟), published in the 1960s. In the work, Xu Chi describes how during the 1960s, the North China Plain saw continuous reports of oil exploration successes, with oilfields such as Dagang and Shengli being established one after another. The phrase was coined to capture the steady stream of triumphant news from China's geological and industrial achievements. It has since become a common expression used in news, sports, and military contexts.
