王冠

Meaning of 王冠

王冠 (wángguān) is a crown — 王 (king) and 冠 (headpiece). A symbol of sovereignty and the highest achievement; in Chinese sport, 夺冠 (to seize the crown) means to win the championship.

To say Crown in Chinese, pronounce 王冠 as Wáng guān. The marks over the letters show the tones — the pitch contour that distinguishes Mandarin syllables.
