Welcome! Introduction
Glyphs missing from your font set may appear strange, or not at all. We recommend enabling East Asian language support.

「Threads for religious guidance」as RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURES that reference TO UNDERGO a change, TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE, recalling that early in history, writings to be preserved were often copied onto cloth and kept in scrolls.
「Threads loosely arrayed on closed flesh seam」references MENSTRUATION (being 'on the rag' required menstrual cloths prior to the quite recent invention of tampons and disposable pads) and TO UNDERGO a change, TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE, to PASS THROUGH into adulthood. See each of the left and right elements for their respective explanations.
「Ejaculation with streaming within soil」references TO UNDERGO a change, TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE, albeit possibly one similar to a spathiphyllum (#MeToo) with Harvey Weinstein. Note the Taoist sages held organized religion in contempt and disrespect, so it is no wonder that this glyph equates sutras and other religious holy writings with menstrual rags, and holy saints as buggers…indeed, some were, some are still.
With some good reasons, the Taoist sages thought of organized religions as being operated mostly for the selfish purposes of the shamans or other leading figureheads, hence an additional meaning, the GUIDING PRINCIPLE OF RELIGION, and use as a replacement for HOLY PERSON. In fact, themes of a 'clay potter' or 'master weaver' are extant in many religions. Specifically, the sages ridiculed Buddhists for their homosexual practices as「threadbare guiding principles, working between seams of cloth and flesh, fluids streaming into soil.」A major focus of many high-profile religious figures today is exemplified by the Catholic pope's recent apologies for widespread and covered-up sex scandals (but it's not only the Catholics, remember, not by a long shot).
Perhaps it is mere coincidence that modern churches with patron Francis Xavier are openly homosexual…or perhaps it isn't. Francis Xavier arrived as the first Jesuit missionary to Asia, but after arriving in Japan struggled for the remainder of his life to learn kanji, perhaps because he began the practice of creating convoluted explanations for glyphs in order to conceal the true meanings of elements. He also wished to cover up the truth so that no one from the West would learn the about Japanese ways at that time:
「The people of the West are not aware that there once existed in Japan a cultural tradition of homosexuality comparable to that of ancient Greece. During a period of time in which the traditional civilization of Japan reached its perfection, the [ideal of] homosexual love was considered a passion more noble and more gracious than heterosexuality. Over time, this tradition of homosexuality would quickly become discouraged, and eventually it was kept so hidden as it was thought to have disappeared altogether.」

While not condoning or saying whether these behaviors are correct, the Chinese of course were far less hypocritical throughout the ages regarding homosexuality, pedophilia, and zooerastia:
「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

Not being hypocritical is a virtue in its own right, though.
The shaman's peddling of religion, soothsaying, doctoring, and sex sales or rentals were the origins of advertising, accounting techniques, advancing best business practices, and the forces supporting the ECONOMICS of early human civilization.

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.
