Meanings of elements

INDICATES CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP, CHANGE OF STATE OR CONTRAST, PUBIC HAIR, SUCH AS A BEARD, MOREOVER, AND THEN, ACCORDINGLY AS A RESULT OF, THUS, THEREFORE with BIRD

「Birds, chicks with pubic hair.」…swallowing whilst engaging in their professional services causes additional blood levels of testosterone that itself causes growth of pubic hair such as heavier hair growth on the upper lip and/or the forearms. Moreover,「birds that look like beards of old Chinese sages」are SWALLOWS, in particular the tail portion. In English at least, the bird SWALLOW as a noun and swallowing as a verb are apparently unrelated, but with these particular elements that may not be the case in Chinese.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
