Refers also to a relatively standard AREA OF LAND used in China,「suited for one day」that was determined to be the area in which one serf was able to sow by scattering seeds in one day.
Elements as「vagina inclining toward suitable tonguing mouth」or more to the point, as a「tonguing mouth inclining toward suitable vagina」and「tonguing mouth at the apex」may serve a FLASHING BRILLIANCE purpose as well as describe having a MOMENT, the FLASH of ENLIGHTENMENT. Although there is no direct link to what can possibly be performed in an entire day, nor to an area of land, perhaps「tonguing mouth having a reason to incline toward apex spot above vagina」i.e., the clitoris, is a way to spend one's days while bored in the harem.
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: part of the day; midday
Unihan extended: noon, midday; moment; unit land measurement equal to seven mou (畝), or the area that can be sown in one day
EDRDG: noon; midday; moment; land measure
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.
