The pinyin of the tip of the iceberg is bīng shān yī jiǎo.

The tip of the iceberg, a Chinese idiom, generally refers to a very large thing showing only a small part. It is derived from the Western proverb "the tip of the iceberg". It can be used both as a compliment and as a derogatory meaning.

What you see is only the small part of the iceberg above the water. It is a metaphor that only a small part of a very big or valuable thing is revealed, or a very strong person only shows part of his talent. It also means that only a small part of illegal things or things that were originally hidden have been unearthed or exposed.

The tip of the iceberg is actually a borrowed word from the Western proverb "the tip of the iceberg". This English idiom comes from the sailing experience of the Nordic people, that is, the visible part of the iceberg on the surface is much smaller than the underwater part, so extra care must be taken to prevent the ship's hull from hitting the iceberg underwater and capsizing. Later it entered Chinese and was often used to refer to a small part of something.

Explanation of "Southern Metropolis Daily" These problems are just the tip of the iceberg of the problems facing the Olympic team. "News Evening News": Some investors pointed out that the key data withheld this time was not just a data problem, but a clear intention to deliberately conceal the truth in the way the incident was handled - the concealment of data this time may just be an iceberg.

The basic meaning of iceberg:

Iceberg refers to a large piece of freshwater ice that breaks off from the seaward end of a glacier or polar ice sheet and falls into the sea. It is usually found around Greenland in North America. . Icebergs mostly form in spring and summer, when warmer weather accelerates the breakup of glaciers or ice sheet edges. About 10,000 icebergs are produced every year from the glaciers in western Greenland alone.

Where a glacier or ice sheet (shelf) meets the sea, the mutual movement of ice and seawater causes the end of the glacier or ice sheet to break off into the sea and become an iceberg. There is also a type of glacier that extends into the seawater, and the upper part melts or evaporates quickly, turning it into an underwater ice shelf, which breaks off and then resurfaces. Most Antarctic icebergs are formed when the Antarctic continental ice sheet thins toward the sea.

It protrudes into the ocean and becomes a huge ice shelf several kilometers long, gradually breaking apart. The rate of iceberg creation is 280 billion cubic meters per year in the Arctic Ocean and 1.800 billion cubic meters per year in the Antarctic. Most icebergs have a specific gravity of 0.9, so 6/7 of their mass is below the surface. The tip of the iceberg above the water is only 1/10 of the entire iceberg.
