Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ENCLOSE with DELUSION, BEWITCH, ENCHANTMENT, CHARMED
…or: CHANGING the ORIFICE
…or: BEWITCHING ORIFICE
「Enclosure with charm, enchantment inside」that refers to BAITING A TRAP OR SNARE, often with live bait. In these elements, an enclosing snare seems baited with a person who was transformed into a highly-trained concubine as LURE to attract customers, and entice them inside the shaman's parlor. Today the axiom「sex sells (especially when selling sex)」still lives on in advertising.
 Also meaning a STOOL PIGEON, live bait used as a lure: the largest known, single flock of passenger pigeons in the United States (Wisconsin), was estimated to be 136,000,000 animals…humans hunted them to extinction over little more than a century ago though, often using「stool pigeon」as a LURE. A stool pigeon was a live bird tied to a stool that attracted others to land nearby (as the remaining species of pigeons do today) and become ensnared, then eaten. Obviously pigeons are not reputed to be as intelligent as crows, for example, but the meat of passenger pigeons apparently was much tastier as humans ate them all to extinction, but no one enjoys eating crow much.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: decoy
Japanese: decoy, stool, lure, stool pigeon, trap
Unihan extended: inveigle, decoy; cheat
EDRDG: decoy; lure; stool pigeon

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.
