Meanings of elements

ANIMAL with CROWN
…or: BEASTLY KING
…or: HAIRY BEAST with OPIUM
…or: DOG-PIG and ROD with FECES
…or: ANIMAL KING

A MAD dog, violent and CRAZED. A dog that behaves as does a king. A crowned king who behaves as does an animal and crawls on all fours: INSANITY, CRAZY, life out of balance, koyaanisqatsi. CONVULSING seizures were once thought to be symptoms of LUNACY, and lunacy is often an attribute of world leaders who behave like mad dogs or LUNATICS (but not epileptics, as we now understand). Epilepsy was thought to be a disease of「feeble-mindedness」for millennia.
　「Animal」with「king」might also be suggesting how some ancient kings in China might have behaved when left alone with a little lamb, or not left alone for that matter, or with some other species as「rod in flesh seam of hairy animal.」
　「Dog or pig animal-beast」with「array of fecal matter, king, crown」may refer to a penchant for coprophagia, or some sort of coprophilic proclivity that progresses beyond societal norms. Smearing oneself with shit in most cultures is an indicator of INSANITY, albeit not a symptom that provides an infallible diagnosis of anything.

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.
