山顶

• 拼音: shān dǐng
• 汉字拆解: 山 = pictograph of three mountain peaks; 顶 = 页 (head radical) + 丁 (phonetic dǐng) = the very top/apex — 山顶 = the apex of a mountain

含义

The top or summit of a mountain; the highest point of a mountain or hill.

Used both literally for mountain summits and metaphorically for the pinnacle of achievement or power. 登上山顶 (to reach the summit) is a common metaphor for completing a difficult goal. 山顶洞人 refers to the Upper Cave Man, prehistoric Homo sapiens fossils found at Zhoukoudian near Beijing.
