a picture of 亮 → a lit oil lamp radiating light

The original form depicted an oil lamp on a stand, its flame casting brightness into the dark. From that image came the full range of meanings: physical light, clarity, and anything that shines outward — a loud voice, a revealed secret, a flashed document.
