Comment: I've just seen our definition of 蔚为 -- "to afford (a view of sth)" -- and I realize that, using this word "afford",
I can greatly simplify the definition of 蔚成 and at the same time improve the entry for 蔚为, by simply
having it point to 蔚成, since 蔚为 is about fashions as well as stunning views ~

"cool guys and hot girls" have become the mainstream

战后,由于大量的市场鼓吹,手錶也蔚为男性的时尚。

The sunrise seen from high in the mountains was a tremendous spectacle.
从山上居高远望, 日出景象蔚为奇观.
