Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
PERSON in DOWNWARD THRUSTING STANCE in KING and ATTRACT ATTENTION BY CAUSING GRIEF with ORIFICE
…or: PERSON in DOWNWARD THRUSTING STANCE with a DECIDED SCREWING ADVANTAGE
Elements meaning「metal」are「person taking stance with downward thrusting motions of penis」and right element is「merciless」having elements of「dog erection wounding orifice of the king, attract attention in a proceptivity display」in reference to a conquering invader's abuse of a local dignitary that publicly slips his penile shaft into the local lord's back orifice (「shafting」) or, in his concubines, or in all of them, in an attempt to display total dominance and cause irreparable humiliation. Armies invading China were referred to as「dogs」and in particular those arriving from the westerly direction. The old elements depict SOMETHING VERY HARD AND SLIPPERY, CRUEL, UNFEELING and MERCILESS as IRON (iron and steel are relatively slippery metals). Related glyph is「dog erection taking advantage of crown with penile downward thrusting motions scraping anal orifice internally.」Also applies to weaponry as a general class of tools formed from iron, and later, steel.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: iron (metal); arms; weapons; hard; strong; violent; unshakeable; determined; close; tight (slang)

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. 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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they 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 lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
