Tips

history
From the Song Neo-Confucian 《二程遗书》 (recording brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi): "仁者，浑然与物同体" — the benevolent person is undivided and forms one body with all things. Originally metaphysical; now used for architecture, art, writing, and teamwork.
usage
Highly positive — implies perfect integration rather than mere combination. Common subjects: buildings with landscape, parts of a text, elements of a painting, members of a team.
