The full-form character 農(䢉) nóng ‘farming/agriculture’ combines 䢅 chén ‘Scorpio’, with 囟(𦥓凶) xiōng ‘breast/heart star, Antares’ (phonosemantic): the heart star (心宿) of the Celestial Scorpion rising pre-dawn in the springtime announced the time of the spring plowing.
The modern simple form 农 nóng ‘farming/agriculture’ (with 冖 and 𧘇) is a 6-stroke abbreviation of the full form 農: 曲 is reduced to 3 strokes, and the last 3 strokes are those of 辰 chén.
“The husbandman; 耕人也。A 囟 head, two 𠬞 hands, and 晨 the break of day contracted, 日 giving place to 囟. The man who works from early dawn; all field-work being done very early in hot countries 耕作必于晨” —Wieger.
Compare: 衣 yī ‘clothing’ (which also has 6 strokes, but starts with 亠, and ends with 𧘇).
