Meanings of elements

SUN, DAY and TURN AND FACE TOWARD
…or: TONGUING MOUTH HAVING A REASON and SUITED FOR, BE INCLINED TO

Any time one can see the Sun or sunlight is the DAYLIGHT PORTION of a 24-hour day.「Sun at the apex」as depicted by the「emphasis spot on the uppermost area of spread legs」relates to the Sun at MIDDAY, NOON, consisting of a single MOMENT in time each day.
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.

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.
