The term "tang" weaves multifaceted imagery in literature. It frequently emerges in sound, as in the rhythmic "ting-tang, ting-tang" of a clock ([1]) or the playful bell-like refrain of a nursery rhyme ([2], [3], [4], [5]). At other times it denotes a physical attribute, referring to the projecting metal of a blade that speaks of both design and durability ([6], [7], [8], [9]). In sensory descriptions, writers harness its associations with flavor and aroma—from the balanced, neutral tang in coffee ([10], [11], [12], [13], [14]) to the evocative, natural tang of cedar, sea air, or frost that heightens a scene's atmosphere ([15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21]). In addition, "Tang" carries historical and cultural significance, notably as the illustrious Tang dynasty ([22], [23], [24], [25]), which adds a layer of grandeur to narratives. This rich polysemy underscores how a single word can impart sound, materiality, flavor, and history in literary portrayals.
