Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ERECTILE BEANSTALK, LEGENDARY ENCHANTED BEAN and SCREWING with FEEL OF FLUIDS PUMPING, SQUEEZING GRIP
…or: BLASTING HEAD, INNER PITH, CORNSILK with SPURTING STANCE
…or: ERECTILE TISSUE THUMPING OR DRUMMING BY HAND within VILLAGE, HAMLET, RUSTIC, UNCOUTH, VULGAR
…or: TREE, WOODY and CAUSE TO BECOME ERECT
See 立. While the various combinations of elements mean different things in different glyphs, here they may refer to「trees standing erect」or a「growing tree」generally. Center and right elements of「erectile tissue in a squeezing grip」indicate life-giving sap is still pumping through the veins of the organism, as it were, causing it to「remain standing.」Note that some other common uses of the glyph refer to non-living wood and products produced by trees, such as resins, perhaps due to the elements interpreted as「wood resembling erectile tissue that is held in a squeezing grip」could be applied to sticky ejaculatory fluids. Further application as female orgasm-aiding devices is not apparent in vocabulary, despite the combination of elements.
Cornsilk arching from the tip of a stiff, engorged seed shaft (a ripe ear of corn covered with a sheath of leaves) needs no explanation as the climactic moment of delight, by analogy, when grasped and plucked during a harvest.

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.
