The kanji 朝 combines the “sun” radical (日) with the “morning” or “assembly” component (十+月), symbolizing the sun rising over the land. In ancient times, it represented the morning time when people gathered or started their day. 朝 came to mean morning or dynasty, capturing beginnings, light, and daily renewal.
The sun rising over the land — 朝 means morning or the start of the day.
Imagine the sun rising and starting a new day — that’s 朝, the kanji for morning.
