The Difference of big and large

When you describe sth./ sb.“large”, you means they are big in size or amount.(A large number of people)


However, you can use “big” not only to describe sth./sb. are big in size or amount but to describe sth. is important because of being powerful (The "big three" commercial banks)or having lots of influences(..have made big strides).
