Pigeons seem to prefer roosting in the upper beams located on the underside of temple roofs, where the birds can relax out of view and feel safe from predators…unfortunately, this same state of relaxation initiates indiscreet excretory functions, causing worshippers below to literally feel the effects of both the animals and the religious experience, giving rise to the superstition that being shat upon is a lucky omen from the gods as it portends「soon acquiring a new set of clothes.」Hence, most large temples today have placed netting or screening within the roofbeams to「fit with and close」access to these areas by TEMPLE BIRDS, PIGEONS, shaman's divine service providers.

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.
