lines on a trigram

爻 [yáo]1. Meaning: The lines of different lengths that compose each hexagram in the eight trigrams.- 组成八卦中每一卦的长短横道。2. In the context of the "I Ching," it refers to the symbols that make up a hexagram. (“—” is a yang line, “--” is a yin line.) Each three lines form a hexagram, giving rise to eight trigrams; two hexagrams (six lines) together yield sixty-four hexagrams, known as separate hexagrams. The term '爻' carries the meaning of interweaving and change.- 《周易》中组成卦的符号。 ("En." line in eight trigrams)“—”为阳爻，“--”为阴爻。每三爻合成一卦，可得八卦;两卦(六爻)相重则得六十四卦，称为别卦。爻含有交错和变化之意。3. Abbreviated form of "爻辞" (explanations of diagrams for divination).- 爻辞的省称 ([En.] explanations of diagrams for divination)Etymology: - Original meaning: The lines that compose the eight trigrams. The changes of hexagrams depend on the changes of lines; hence, '爻' indicates intertwined and variable meanings. - 造字法: 象形 (Pictographic). Example Usages:- 爻分 (to divide and intertwine); - 爻错 (to interlace and mix). 引文: 1. 《说文》: 爻，交也。象易六爻，头交也。按，乂，古文五，二五天地之数。会意。凡从爻之字，皆错杂意。 2. 《易·系辞下》: 道有变动，故曰爻。 Additional Examples:- 爻律 (changing musical rhythms); - 爻象 (the images represented by the interdependence of six lines in the "I Ching"; shapes and traces). In summary, '爻' signifies a fundamental concept in the study of the "I Ching," emphasizing the themes of change and interconnection through its symbolism in divination.
