Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ERECT KNOBBY MEAT with ENORMOUS, HUGE
…or: ERECT MEAT with DIVINE FEMALE, ONE (three times) DECREPIT CONDITION
「Standing erect meat」with「knobby」肬, and the old form included「short hairs」彡.「Divine ones on a decrepit penis」as the DRAGON EMPEROR of CHINA and his vast harem. Conceivably, these elements might also simply be「mixing soupy meat with three divine prepubescent females end-to-end in-and-out on penis.」The Dragon Emperor is reputed to have deflowered six virgins every two days (i.e., three per day), perhaps with nothing better to do, or to want to do as his daily routine…although that story may well have simply originated due to the「three」element in this very glyph (morphed from short hairs 彡, as noted above). Note that dragons are purported to be exceptionally large「snakes」(已, 巳) that often fly, and are horny and messy.
Chinese sources explain that the right element is a variant of「huge, enormous」(尨) that includes「hand, or, wide erect with emphasis」and「pubic region with penis」in reference to the Dragon Emperor of imperial China and his legendary「standing out, outstanding, noticeable, plausible, not without reason, superb enormous erect meat.」…those same elements in 尨 also mean「shamed, at fault with delicate zone」for that matter.「Person with hand palming prick」(隹) not coincidentally refers to these same integrated elements, to mean「mating stance, narcissistic male flaunting his genitalia, pluming spurts」which might additionally apply to the Great Dragon Emperor(s) in particular.

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.
