爻 [yáo] 1. The long and short lines that form each hexagram in the Eight Trigrams. 2. The symbols that make up the hexagrams in the Book of Changes (I Ching).

The term "爻" conveys meanings of interweaving and change. 3. Abbreviation for "爻辞" (explanations of diagrams for divination). 引: 1. From the Shuowen: "爻" symbolizes intertwining. 2.
