The Chinese character 宽阔 (kuānkuò) is composed of two characters: 宽 (kuān) and 阔 (kuò). The character 宽 originally meant "wide" or "spacious", and was often used to describe the width of a river or the size of a room. The character 阔 originally meant "broad" or "extensive", and was often used to describe the width of a road or the size of a field. When the two characters are combined, they create the word 宽阔, which means "wide and spacious". This word is often used to describe the size of a room, a building, or a piece of land. For example, a 宽阔的房间 (kuānkuò de fángjiān) is a spacious room, and a 宽阔的土地 (kuānkuò de tǔdì) is a large piece of land.
