The Chinese character 雄伟 (xióng wěi) is composed of two characters: 雄 (xióng) and 伟 (wěi). 雄 originally meant "male" or "strong", and was often used to describe animals such as lions and tigers. It can also be used to describe people who are brave or heroic. 伟 originally meant "big" or "tall", and was often used to describe mountains or buildings. When combined, the two characters 雄伟 create a word that means "magnificent" or "grand". This word is often used to describe natural wonders, such as mountains and waterfalls, as well as man-made structures, such as buildings and bridges.
