字源 FORM — what the parts do

Flesh (肉, written 月) around 空, empty — the hollow inside the body. 空 does double duty: it means the emptiness and it carries the sound, kōng worn to qiāng. From the hollow chamber: 胸腔、口腔; and from the hollow that resonates, the tune a voice carries and the accent it carries — 腔調、京腔.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
一團肉（月）裡頭是空（空）的，敲一下嗡嗡作響——腔。
A wall of flesh (月) around a hollow (空); knock it and it rings — 腔.
