Character Story & Explanation
巇 (xī) refers to a mountain gorge or a narrow, steep valley. It is a rare character, often used in classical Chinese poetry to describe rugged, dangerous terrain, evoking a sense of awe or peril. Unlike Western concepts like canyon (Spanish) or gorge, 巇 emphasizes the treacherous, almost jagged quality of the landscape.
