辉煌

huīhuáng · HSK 7

glorious

✨ 辉 = light radical 光 + 军; 煌 = fire 火 + emperor 皇 — an emperor's blaze of light

Both halves carry brightness: 辉 holds the 光 (light) radical, and 煌 pairs 火 (fire) with 皇 (emperor). Stacked together they double up on radiance, so 辉煌 means dazzling, glorious brilliance.
