Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 大门 (dàmén) for "main gate" or "main entrance" is composed of two characters: 大 (dà), meaning "big" or "great," and 门 (mén), meaning "door" or "gate." The character 大 is one of the most common characters in Chinese and is used in a wide variety of words, including 大人 (dàrén, "adult"), 大学生 (dàxuésheng, "university student"), and 大家 (dàjiā, "everyone"). The character 门 is also a common character and is used in words such as 出门 (chūmén, "to go out"), 进门 (jìnmén, "to come in"), and 关门 (guānmén, "to close the door").The combination of these two characters creates a word that is both simple and descriptive. The word 大门 is used to refer to the main entrance of a building, such as a house, a school, or a temple. It can also be used to refer to the main gate of a city or a town. The word 大门 is a common word in Chinese and is used in both spoken and written language.
