Definition
大汉 has two distinct meanings: it can refer to a big, strong man (often used in a colloquial or admiring way), or it can refer to the great Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD), a golden age in Chinese history. The context makes the meaning clear — if talking about a person, it's the man; if talking about history, it's the dynasty.
