How to use 兴旺
兴旺 describes families, businesses, countries, or industries that are doing well and growing. It often appears in set phrases like 兴旺发达 (xīngwàng fādá, prosperous and developed). Example: 这家店的生意越来越兴旺。(Zhè jiā diàn de shēngyì yuè lái yuè xīngwàng.) This shop's business is getting more and more prosperous.
兴 (xīng) means to rise or flourish, and 旺 (wàng) has the sun 日 next to 王 (king), like a king's sun shining at full strength. Something rising and shining brightly is thriving.
Common mistake: Learners often read 兴 here as fourth tone xìng, as in 兴趣 (xìngqù) or 高兴 (gāoxìng). In 兴旺 it is first tone xīng, the same as in 兴奋 (xīngfèn) and 新兴 (xīnxīng).
