将
jiāng
will
shall; to use; to take; to checkmate; just a short while ago; (introduces object of main verb, used in the same way as 把[ba3])
Bed (丬) + dusk (夕) + hand (寸) = directing toward what's coming
A hand (寸) guiding something at dusk (夕) suggests the act of leading or directing — extended to future intention, as in 'will' or 'shall.' The bed-board radical (丬) evokes a resting support, reinforcing the sense of holding something steady toward a purpose.

wǒ jiāng zài míng tiān qù kàn yī shēng。
