阳

yáng

positive (electric.)

sun; male principle (Taoism); Yang, opposite: 陰|阴[yin1]

hill (阝) + sun (日) = the sunny, positive side

The mound radical (阝) here represents a hillside or elevated terrain. The sun rising over a hill captures the lit, south-facing slope — the bright, warm side that ancient Chinese associated with yang energy.
