The Chinese character 凉 (liáng) is composed of two parts: the radical 冫(bīng), which represents ice or coldness, and the phonetic component 良 (liáng), which has the same pronunciation as 凉. The character 凉 originally meant "cold" or "cool", but it can also be used to describe something that is refreshing or soothing. For example, the phrase 凉茶 (liángchá) refers to a type of herbal tea that is drunk cold and is believed to have cooling properties. The character 凉 can also be used in a figurative sense to describe something that is calm or peaceful, such as the phrase 凉爽 (liángshuǎng), which means "cool and refreshing".
