倾注 (qīng zhù) is a formal, literary verb meaning 'to devote (one’s effort, energy, emotion, or attention) wholeheartedly to something or someone.' The character 倾 suggests 'tilting' or 'pouring out'—as if one’s inner resources are being poured forth without reservation. 注 means 'to pour in' or 'to direct,' reinforcing the sense of focused, concentrated investment. Together, they evoke an image of emotional or mental energy flowing steadily and deeply into a person, cause, or activity.

This word is commonly used in written Chinese and formal speech—especially when describing deep affection, dedication to work or study, or long-term commitment. It often appears with abstract nouns like 热情 (enthusiasm), 心血 (careful effort), or 关爱 (care and love). While grammatically it can take a direct object, it frequently appears with the particle 于 (e.g., 倾注于…), especially in more elevated contexts.
