聲 ＝ 殸 ＋ 耳
ㄕㄥ · shēng
noun — sound; voice; tone
字源 FORM — what the parts do
殸聲qìng — a chime-stone (声) struck by a mallet-hand (殳)
IFT≠qìng → shēng — donor and child parted ways
殸 — a chime-stone struck by a mallet-hand — rings; the ear (耳) below catches it. 殸 also lends the sound, worn far from qìng to shēng. What the ear takes in is 聲: 聲音, 大聲, and the four tones, 四聲.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
槌（殳）落在懸著的石磬上，一記長音——耳朵（耳）一直跟到它沒了。
The mallet (殳) lands on the hanging stone; one long ring — the ear (耳) follows it until it is gone.
