Yin Collection, Upper Volume Radical: Roof (mián) 宨 Kangxi stroke count: 9 Page 285, Entry 06 Pronounced tiao (rising tone). Meaning to indulge. Frivolous and unrestrained refers to behavior that is indulgent and without boundaries. Also, True Meaning Dictionary (Zhengzitong) states that the characters for tiao (宨) and tiao (窕) share the same pronunciation and meaning. Commentary on the Book of Odes (Shizhuan) explains that the term yaotiao denotes a profound, tranquil, firm, and refined demeanor. The Dictionary of Characters (Zihui) interprets the character 宨 specifically as frivolous and indulgent, which is incorrect. An examination of various rhyming dictionaries shows that only the Collected Rhymes (Jiyun) includes the character 宨. In the Book of Odes (Shijing), within the section Zhou South (Zhounan), the term yaotiao was originally written using the character 窕, which features the hole radical. The Erya: Interpretation of Words (Erya Shiyan) defines 窕 as indulgence, noting that a frivolous and indulgent person enjoys behaving wantonly, also using the character 窕 with the hole radical. The pronunciation and meaning cited by the True Meaning Dictionary (Zhengzitong) are identical to those of the character 窕, suggesting that 宨 is likely a corrupted variant of 窕.
