The Chinese character 两 (liǎng) means "two" and 边 (biān) means "side". So the word 两边 (liǎngbiān) literally means "two sides". It is often used to refer to both sides of something, such as a river, a road, or a mountain. For example, you could say 河的两边 (hé de liǎngbiān) to mean "both sides of the river".The word 两边 can also be used to refer to two different things or groups of things. For example, you could say 他们两边都很好 (tāmen liǎngbiān dōu hěn hǎo) to mean "both of them are very good".The word 两边 is a very common word in Chinese and it is used in a variety of different contexts. It is important to understand the meaning of this word in order to be able to communicate effectively in Chinese.
