bend / break in two, stubborn / contrary

拗 抝 ǎo 〈动〉 1. Break; to bend until it breaks. (e.g. the bamboo pole broke.) 2. Turn; bend. 3. Also see ào; niù. 拗 抝 ǎo 〈动〉 1. Same as the original meaning (break). Example: In "The Lotus Can't Be Separated," bending the lotus makes it impossible to break the thread. Example: In "Medicine," carefully opened it, and white gas emerged from the burnt skin, dispersing into two halves of a white bun. 2. Turn; bend. Example: He always smiles when reading this, tilting his head back, swaying, and bending backward. 3. Also see ào; niù. 拗 抝 ō 1. Disobedient; does not comply. (e.g. disobey orders.) 2.

Example: Nothing is more complicated and difficult to remember than this. 3. Pry open. Example: In "The Glutton," his mouth was like a corpse, hard as iron and stone to pry open. 拗 抝 niù 〈形〉 1. Stubborn; obstinate; pigheaded. (e.g. obstinate nature; strong-willed.) Examples: Being contrary; not compliant; stubborn nature; strong resistance; as in strong personality traits symbolizing stubbornness. 拗 抝 niù 〈动〉 1. Turn back in the opposite or non-conforming direction. Example: Such as turning the neck or bending; to twist. 2. Also see ào; ào. 拗 抝 niù 〈形〉 Stubborn; obstinate; pigheaded. 拗 抝 niù 〈动〉 1.
