Tips

usage
Found only in 峥嵘, literally describing steep towering peaks and figuratively meaning remarkable, as in 峥嵘岁月 (eventful years).

Components

radical
山 shān
mountain
The mountain radical fixes the literal image: 峥嵘 describes high, jagged peaks before the word broadens to mean anything towering or extraordinary.
phonetic
荣 róng
flourishing; glory
Supplies the reading róng; its overtone of flourishing splendour suits the grand, lofty feel of 峥嵘.
