recommend, work hard, beautiful
劭 centers on putting in effort to achieve something admirable: working hard, recommending others through one's actions, or embodying a kind of beautiful excellence that comes from diligence.
劭 combines 召 (summon, call) with 力 (strength, effort). The exact historical development is uncertain, but it likely expresses the idea of summoning one's strength to work hard or achieve something commendable.
The left side 召 looks like a call to action, and the right side 力 is strength. Imagine someone calling upon their strength to work hard and create something beautiful, earning a recommendation.
For ショウ, picture a show of strength: someone working hard to put on a beautiful performance that earns a glowing recommendation. Show -> ショウ.
