robust, manhood, prosperity
壮 centers on vigorous strength and fullness: robust health, mature manhood, and thriving prosperity. The common thread is a state of peak vitality and flourishing.
壮 is the modern simplified form of 壯. The older form combines 士 (scholar, man) with 爿, which likely contributed the sound and reinforced the idea of a strong, grown man. The modern left component 丬 is a simplification of 爿.
The left side 丬 resembles a strong bed or board, and the right side 士 is a scholar or warrior. Picture a robust man standing firm like a sturdy bedframe, embodying strength and prosperity.
For ソウ, imagine a robust man sowing seeds in a field: sow -> ソウ, and his strength makes the crops prosper.
