Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ARRAY of DISEASE, BODILY TISSUE INFLAMMATION, MUSCLE ACHES, JOINT PAIN, ENLARGED LYMPH NODES with TONGUING MOUTH, HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING, PRETENDING, A PRETEXT, EXCUSE GIVEN TO HIDE THE TRUE REASON FOR SOMETHING with SMALL STREAM OF EMISSIONS
…or: ILLNESS, DISEASE, SICK, PHYSICAL AILMENT with FUEL FOR MEAT SACRIFICE, WET GREEN WOOD, SMOKE, SIGNAL FIRE
…or: DISEASE and ARRAY of SPEAKING EMISSIONS within FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
「Illness」and「heavy smoke, green wood」as perhaps the origin of the English expression,「blowing smoke」to cover a flaw or failing.「Illness」and「signal fire」as a warning to others who may be intimate with the afflicted, such as family members. Follows the thought that part of the healing process used as ancient Chinese and Japanese medical therapy employs smoke, fire, and heat by slowly burning smoky materials placed over the skin of an affected area (still performed to this day), with the「…focus on the Tibetan technique of moxibustion, an external therapy that uses the power of heat to stimulate a curative effect. A widespread form of traditional healing in the East, moxibustion is one of the most ancient medical therapies known to humanity. Mainly popularized as a branch of Chinese medicine, moxibustion was formerly practiced in Shang Shung, a kingdom predating Tibet whose existence can be traced back at least four thousand years.」

 Perhaps also may relate to AROMATHERAPY by using scents of slow-burning woods as part of the healing process, or the healthful benefits of vaporized cannabis buds. Buddhists use clouds of incense smoke when praying for a healing and while chanting that historically include cannabis, and many other religious folks still think the same today. On the other hand, it might mean that if you still think burning animal meat sacrifices on an altar will cure someone, maybe you should get some THERAPY yourself.
 「Long time flaming in heat」as a cause of EPIDIDYMAL HYPERTENSION and related CHASTISEMENTS. Note that anciently China and Japan used the same word for 'green' as for 'blue,' so that「illness of a green woody」might loosely translate into English vernacular as the condition known as 'blue balls.' Fortunately, the THERAPY for this condition is readily at hand…

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: to treat; to cure; therapy
Unihan extended: be healed, cured, recover
EDRDG: heal; cure

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.
