sòng

ode

eulogy; to praise in writing; to wish (in letters)

public (公) + page (页) = an ode or written praise

页 depicts a person with an emphasized head, extended to mean 'page' or 'face' — here it evokes something presented formally, like a written tribute. 公 mainly lends the sound sòng; the meaning of praise comes from 页.
