About

The word 强硬 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a core quality to create a unified concept. 强 (qiáng) primarily conveys "strong" or "powerful", suggesting force or intensity. 硬 (yìng) means "hard" or "rigid", implying unyielding firmness. When merged, they synthesize into a single idea where strength is characterized by an inflexible, resolute, and uncompromising quality, forming the concept of being "tough" or "hardline".
