暴形rendered bare — a four-part scene worn into one block
The old graph stacks the sun (日) over hands holding up grain to dry — rice spread out under fierce noon light. From that fierce sun comes everything sudden and violent: 暴力、暴雨、暴躁. The drying sense survives in 曝.

烈日（日）當頭，雙手把穀子攤開來曬——曬得人發燥。
Under the blazing sun (日), hands spread the grain out to dry — fierce enough to set the temper off.
