This paper interprets ＂爻＂in the Book of Changes. Beginning with an interpretation of the generation of its shape, the paper discusses the relationship between ＂爻＂ and ＂十＂, etc. Then, it touches on the shape of ＂爻＂ again and moves on to a brief discussion of the universality of ＂十＂. Finally, the paper investigates the original meaning of ＂爻＂ （ meaning both ＂cross＂ and ＂effect＂ ） and its derivative meaning.
