Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
VIRILE ERECT ROD within TEMPLE
…or: ERECTION MANY TIMES or VIRILE PRICK TALLYWACKER in SQUEEZING GRIP, FEEL OF FLUIDS PUMPING
「Erection within temple」describes the religious significance of the shaman's endeavors, purveyors of the nascence of humanity's religious experiences. Knowing the original elements makes the meaning of CONGRATULATIONS obvious, since「getting it up」for this activity might not occur as frequently for older folks. Elements formerly () were「penis rolled, flesh seam and orifice/mouth array with squeezing grip, feel of pulsating and pumping fluids」that combine to create a fanciful image of a successful sexual encounter of most any variety possible. Given meanings have an obvious connection with the glyph meaning「old」(enlarged prostate of an old man due to insufficient use and lack of periodic drainage). Nevertheless, perhaps a different message is also contained herein, that of not using rented service providers of either sex, ewes, buddies, and so on for sexual release if one wants to attain OLD AGE, which is simply another way of saying not dying while young from contracting contagious infections or some other tragedy.
 This glyph,「prick, tallywacker」or「erection many times, many reciprocal motions of rod in a squeezing grip」depicts sexual release apparently either necessary for or supportive of LONGEVITY.
 Lower element of「a squeezing grip, careful hand」is also depicting the measuring of someone's pulse, which itself is feeling the throbbing pulsations of blood as it courses through arteries, and also a prick no less. Vaguely refers to「still being alive」so perhaps CONGRATULATE an old man for a LONG LIFE.
 「Erect rod in temple」for servicing a「virile prick」refers to the shaman and her religious acolytes in a temple of love, or, even just thinking about them while performing a selfie:「Frequent ejaculation may decrease prostate cancer risk…men who ejaculated 21 times or more a month were less likely to report prostate cancer at follow-up than those ejaculating four to seven times per month…」…or in other words, don't let your meat loaf.

 「Evolutionary biologists have traced the origins of masturbation to ancient primates that predate the first humans by tens of millions of years. The findings emerged from what scientists believe is the largest dataset ever compiled on the activity, and confirm that humans arose on a branch of the tree of life replete with self-pleasuring predecessors. 'What we can say is this behaviour was present around 40m (40,000,000) years ago, in the common ancestor of all monkeys and apes,' said Dr Matilda Brindle, the lead researcher on the study at University College London. 'It's not that some species woke up one day and started doing it. This is an ancient, evolved trait.' '…This is such a common behaviour across the animal kingdom, I find it absolutely baffling that nobody has researched it before,' said Brindle. 'For people who think masturbation is wrong, or unnatural in some way, this is perfectly natural behaviour. It's part of our healthy repertoire of sexual behaviours.'」

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.
