The word 光芒 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a vivid visual component to create a unified image of brilliant light. 光 (guāng) directly means "light" or "brightness", establishing the core substance. 芒 (máng) originally refers to the sharp, needle-like awn of a grain or the piercing tip of a blade, evoking a sense of pointed, radiating lines. When fused, 光 provides the luminous essence, and 芒 provides the imagery of its radiating, piercing rays, together pictorially forming the concept of "rays of light" or "brilliant radiance". It is a conceptual fusion where the second character magnifies and gives form to the energy of the first.
