诵 character breakdown

Yong River 甬江[Yong3 Jiang1] in Ningbo 寧波|宁波[Ning2 bo1] / short name for Ningbo
variant of 桶[tong3], bucket / (classifier) cubic dry measure (5 pecks 五斗, approx half-liter)
path screened by walls on both sides

= + : Mnemonic symbol: The path screened by walls to both sides could be the grave of Marquis Yi of Zeng. In his grave, a massive set of 64 bianzhong bells was found, of which 45 were 甬钟 bells. Thus, I'm going to represent 甬 by one of these yongzhong bells.

= + : Inside of the engine, Yu the Great wanted to learn how to box. She made the right choice to wear boxing gloves, but as she had no punchbag she used a 甬钟. Like a boss she entered the ring through a path screened by walls on both sides. Unfortunately after her first punch she already had to use the first aid kit, because the bell was way too hard.
"speech" or "words" radical in Chinese characters (Kangxi radical 149) / see also 言字旁[yan2 zi4 pang2]

Mnemonic symbol: this character looks like a big "i" (like in information), and I'll represent it by an advertising column. Maud Younger (y) gives a speech (讠) standing on top of an advertising column (讠) in the anthill's kitchen (an2).
