TSUMUGU · A1 (est.) · 字
良
ㄌㄧㄤˊ · liáng
adj — good, fine; (of a span of time) a good long while
字源 FORM — what the parts do
良形rendered bare — one running shape, told two ways
One flowing shape, drawn straight through. The old graph carries two tellings: a grain-measuring vessel with the good grain running clean through it, or a covered passage between rooms that opened cleanly through the house — both pictures of something running true. From there, good: 良好, 良心, and 良久, a good long while. As a sound it builds 朗、浪、狼、郎.
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by
好穀從量器裡一路淌下，乾淨順暢——這就是良，好。
Good grain running clean through the measure, smooth all the way down — that is 良, good.
