(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​阳:) The simple-form character ​阳 (6 strokes) is an old abbrev. of the full-form character 陽 (11 strokes), replacing the full-form component ​昜 (9 strokes), with its top part ​日 (4 strokes).
    Note: In the simple form ​阳 the right-side component is ​日 rì ‘sun’ (​太​阳), not ​𠃓 (nor ​曰); cf. ​昜; formerly also abbrev. ​氜/​阦/​𨹈, cf. ​𥌖/​𨼗.
    The Shuōwén Seal form of ​阳/陽(​􂢨​𠧊) yáng ‘south/warm/bright side of a hill/mountain (north side of a river/pond/lake)’ (​高​明) combines ​阝(​阜 fù) ‘hill’, and ​昜(​􁧕) yáng (phonosemantic); formerly wr. ​昜 (⚊).
    Compare: ​阴/​陰(​􂢧) yīn ‘north side of a hill/mountain (south/cold/dark side of a river/pond/lake)’ (​陰​闇).
    Compare: ​太​阴 Tàiyīn (​月), ​太​阳 Tàiyáng (​日).
