Meanings of elements
SPECIAL DISTRICT WITHIN A CITY and REPEATEDLY, HEAD BOBBING

…or: EMERGING SHAFTS and REPEATEDLY PROVIDING SERVICES, JOBS
Known in Japan as SHISO, Perilla ocymoides are somewhat triangular, serrated-edged, green, very soft leaves used as an herb and for flavoring, with a purplish coloration underside, clearly shaped as is a vulva with pubic hairs pushed to all sides:「special servicing district within a city and repeatedly bobbing head.」Called the BEEFSTEAK PLANT in English perhaps due to this glyph as a quite specific representation of harem concubine meat and beans, the herd of meat assets as a slice of raw beef (牛) owned by a lord for his staking pleasure:「emerging shafts and person with aristocracy.」The softness of the leaves equates with the softness of skin surrounding this delicate region (see 韋). References to these elements as a bean are perhaps related to the skin in that same delicate region: see 豆 for details. EGOMA is a Japanese word referring to perilla oil squeezed from the seeds of this plant.

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.
