唐

táng

Tang dynasty (618–907)

surname Tang; to exaggerate; empty; in vain; old variant of 螗[tang2]

wide hall (广) + brush (肀) + mouth (口) = grand proclamations of the Tang

唐 originally depicted a grand hall with a proclamation being made from it — wide space, a brush, and a speaking mouth. Over time it came to name the Tang dynasty, and the sense of 'empty boasting' may reflect the stereotype of grand but hollow speech.
