苍蝇
cāng ying · HSK 7
housefly
🪰 cāng = granary + yíng = buzzing — the buzzing bug in the granary
苍 (cāng) means grey or vast, and 蝇 (yíng) has the insect radical 虫. A housefly is literally the grey buzzing insect. The sound 'cāng' echoes 'clang' — flies clang around your kitchen making that relentless buzz.
