    HDZ: 樣 : xiàng : ​: ​: ​ • yàng : ​, ​; ​; ​, ​; ​ (yáng): ​
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form ​:) The simple-form character ​ yàng ‘manner/style/kind’ (10 strokes) is an old character, re-used as an abbrev. of the full-form character 樣 (15 strokes), replacing the full-form component ​ (11 strokes) with its top part ​ (6 strokes).
    Note: Both ​ and 樣 are old characters, formerly with different usages; 樣 yàng ‘manner/style/kind’ is an old usage; cf. ​/​ below, and ​ yáng ‘foreign’.
    The character ​ yáng ‘wooden post’ (part of sericulture frame) combines ​ (mù) ‘tree/wood’, and ​ yáng (phonetic).
    Note: The old meaning ​ yáng ‘wooden post’ is obsolete, and today the reading is ​ yàng ‘manner/style/kind’, used as the simple form of 樣 yàng (note the tone difference, formerly yáng, today yàng).
    The Shuōwén Seal form of 樣(​􀼩) xiàng ‘acorn’ (​) combines ​ (mù) ‘tree/wood’, and ​(​􁾪) yàng ‘long-flowing river’ (phonosemantic): the hardwood (long-lasting) oak nut; also wr. ​, and later ​.
    Note: Formerly 樣 xiàng ‘acorn’ (modern ​ lìguǒ ‘acorn’), formerly also wr. ​/​ xiàng (​ xiàngshù ‘oak’).
    HDZ: ​ : yáng : ​: ​ • yàng : (​) 樣
