1. Slanted, not upright or straight. For example: 「心 [xin]」(biased), 「見 [jian]」(prejudice), 「不不倚 [bu bu yi]」(impartial, unbiased). 《書經 [shu jing]．洪範 [hong fan]》(Shujing: Hongfan): "Without partiality, without deviation, follow the king's righteousness." 唐 [tang]．白居易 [bai ju yi]〈長恨歌 [zhang hen ge]〉(Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi, "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"): "Her cloud-like bun half-slanted from new sleep, her flower coronet disheveled, she came down from the hall."

3. Indicating unexpectedness or contrary to one's wishes. For example: 「屋漏遭連夜雨 [wu lou zao lian ye yu]。」(The leaky roof happens to meet with continuous night rain - misfortunes never come singly.) 唐 [tang]．無名氏 [wu ming shi]〈伊川歌 [yi chuan ge]．第三 [di san]〉(Tang Dynasty, Anonymous, "Yichuan Song No. 3"): "Pitiable is the moon in the women's quarters, which happens to shine on the Han army camp."
