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).
Compare: 乾(𠄃𠄊) qián (☰䷀).
Compare: 氧 yǎng ‘oxygen’ (氧气).
Note: (诗) (七月) 我朱孔陽、爲公子裳 “Our red manufacture is very brilliant, It is for the lower robes of our young princes.” (Legge)
