【看图识意】汉字“祥”的来历 现在的汉字是古相形文字演化而来,因此每个字都有其意义在里面。比如祥。

古文字【羊】是羊头部分正面的特写。在古代畜牧业中,羊是重要的牲畜。祭祀时,把【羊】放在【示】旁。示是指神位,表示吉祥如意,这是会意。【祥】是【示】字旁、【羊】声,这是形声。因此,【祥】是个会意兼形声字。

怎么样,很有意思吧,这样学起来很容易记住吧

I copy Brenda's translation ,hope it could be helpful
from http://www.italki.com/answers/question/71469.htm

The ancient character "羊" has featured the frontal of the sheep head. The sheep was one of the important domestic animals in the ancient animal husbandry. The ancestors offered the sheep as sacrifice to the gods to pray for the peace and happiness. The sheep was placed beside "示" which meant the tablet belonging to the gods. "示", as a componet showing the meaning, suggests auspicious and lucky. "祥" consists of the two components of "示" and "羊" which suggests the pronounceation of the character, this kind of phonomenon is called echoism in Chinese. Therefore, "祥" is a associative and pictophmetic character.
