Meanings of elements

FISH, SLIPPERY MEAT RELAXED, AT EASE IN CAVE

Fishing is normally a relaxing endeavor, or so it is generally thought, or is supposed to be, so that a「fish relaxing」suggests an ANGLERFISH that「angles」or fishes for other fish with a bony「pole」protruding from the top of its head and a fleshy appendage attached resembling larva, hanging just in front of its mouth. Then, it simply relaxes and waits for a fish fry to come in search of food. The anglerfish need not leave its burrow in order to eat: literal meaning of the elements:「fishing in cave holding pole with sticky fluid.」Somewhat more crass is the fact that the arched shape and dribbling appearance at the tip of this bony pole on a fish head relates to 隶 as「spurting sticky fluids with bougie reaming of wet slippery meat.」

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.
