昜
mostly supplies the sound (yáng · Character component
mostly supplies the sound (yáng, cháng, shāng, tāng, dàng) and a background sense of light rising and spreading out
The old graph shows the sun 日 lifted up on a stand or above a line, with short strokes below like rays streaming down — the sun climbing clear of the horizon and casting light outward. The top 日 is still visible in the full form 昜, with 一 under it as the horizon and the slanting strokes as the light. In simplified characters it shrinks to the small hook-and-two-strokes shape 𠃓 on the right of 扬, 杨, 汤, 肠, where the sun has been squeezed out entirely and only the streaming strokes remain.
