Chinese character 褭

15150/20992

褭 first meant guiding a horse with a silk band. Later literary Chinese uses it for winding or swaying motion, a breeze brushing past, or delicate grace. Mandarin reads it roughly like “nyow,” with a dipping third tone; its earliest verified form appears in the Chu bamboo manuscript Bao 2.72, dated 475–221 BC.

What 褭 means

The early definition is tying a horse with a silk band. Bao 2.72 is a bamboo manuscript from Chu, one of the ancient states competing for power in the Warring States period.

Later poems use 褭 for winding smoke, swaying branches, or soft, graceful movement. Those senses link it with 裊 and 嫋; 䮍 is another written variant.
