In Mandarin Chinese, 大 (Pinyin: dà 🔊) means “big”, “large”, “great” and so on.
As we already know, 人 stands for a person, and this person is standing on two legs. Let’s give arms to this person. Now this person is showing with wide open arms how big something is. That big! There is a variety of historical forms of this character, and most of them look like a stickman with arms and legs, drawn en face.
