In practical terms, the Chinese lords constructed patrolled walls and medical inspection gateways at key points around prostitution and brothel districts in an attempt to GOVERN and CONTROL the spread of infectious disease, the lynchpin of epidemic scourges affecting humanity.
Meaning to GOVERN, to CONTROL, HAVING JURISDICTION OVER some area of responsibility or territory as「revolving potential harm」(reinfection) that must be GOVERNED, KEPT UNDER CONTROL. In English also,「lynch」means「at a right angle」as when hanging from a tree limb in order to MAINTAIN CONTROL over others.
Refers to the LYNCHPIN, a VITAL, WEDGE-SHAPED key item used to lock in place on a shaft at a right angle, without which「potentially great harm」can result due to loss of CONTROL and loss of the wheel, and the goods, and those riding, and the yak, etc. After a lynchpin broke or became loose, the whole load on the wagon was dumped. Having the lynchpins properly set enables MAINTAINING CONTROL. Gateway inspection stations that restricted access by diseased WEDGE-SHAPED PINS were allegorically the LINCHPINS of control over the spread of disease due to a「rotation of screwings among plugging orifices」of the service providers.

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.
