HDZ: 興 : xīng : 兴起; 起身; 升起; 动, 发动; 办理, 创办; 建立; 推举, 玄拔; 昌盛; 奋发; 成功; 征发; 流行, 时行; (副词) (或许, 大概 (他兴来, 兴不来); 容许, 许可); (姓) • xìng : 象; 譬喻; 诗歌表现手法之一 (兴起); 兴致, 情趣; 喜爱, 喜欢 • xìn : 釁/衅: (杀牲以祭, 并以其血涂钟鼓等缝隙; 争端)
(Explanation from the entry for the simple form 兴:) The simple-form character 兴 (6 strokes) is an abbrev. of the full-form character 興 (16 strokes), replacing the full-form component (13 strokes) with ⺍ (3 strokes).
Note: In the simple form 兴, the complex top parts of the full form 興 are abbrev. to just 3 strokes (leaving sth. like ⺍/小 over 丌), as in 举/舉 jǔ (see below).
The Shuōwén Seal form of 兴/興(𢍯) xīng ‘rise/raise up; be aroused’ combines 舁(𦥠) yú ‘(two people) raise/lift up’, and 同() tóng ‘together’ (as in 同力 ‘cooperate’): when people cooperate in doing sth. difficult, in lifting up sth. heavy (as a sacrificial bronze vessel/offering), in working together toward accomplishing a common goal/success, there is a joyous shared result (同事功; 共同出力).
Note: The character 興 is also assoc. with anc. 釁() xìn ‘blood sacrifice/offering’ (HDZ), cf. 衅/釁.
“舁 hands lifting 同 with joint effort ... (xīng) lift, raise, rise, begin, originate; prosper; raise or rise in rank; ... (xìng) high spirits, elation, joy, joyful; desire, passion” —Karlgren(AD).
Compare: 同() tóng ‘together’ (a lidded vessel); 爨() cuàn ‘prepare/cook (delicious/happy) meals’.
Compare: 與(𦥸与) yǔ ‘give/share’; 举/舉(擧) jǔ ‘lift/raise up in the hands’.
Compare: 共(𠔏) gòng ‘offer (respectfully/respects), shared/together’.
Compare: 衅/釁() xìn ‘blood sacrifice/offering; conflict/dispute’, formerly wr. 興.
