黎明
lí míng · HSK 7
dawn
🌅 黎 = just-before + 明 (bright); the bright moment just before full day = dawn
明 splits into 日 sun + 月 moon, the two sky-lights = brightness. 黎 carries a sense of nearing or just-before. Together: the bright edge just before daylight, i.e. daybreak. Sound hook: míng rhymes with the English bright-vowel in beam.
