Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
TALLY, PRICK inside ADJOINING CAVITIES by CLITORIS
…or: DOUBLE TALLY of BEAN with TWO CAVITIES
…or: MORALLY ABHORRENT with CLITORIS
Top element is combination doubling of「tally, prick in cavity」meaning a large count of something, or of some action.「Tally」being a「stick that is whacked」and a euphemism for one's「tallywacker, prick.」Today meaning「warped, morally aberrant, pushing the envelope」all possible references to business and accounting records, or, to dipping one's「tallywacker into adjoining cavities separated by a thin wall of muscle and situated near the clitoris」(lower element is「clitoris, that bean」), with both sides in equal balance.
 Some have argued that this glyph is the first reference to chartered or certified public accountants as「Chinese bean counters」and the double-entry system of accounting appears as a balance sheet tally within the glyph, and is why the top portion morphed into「set of books, records.」More likely is the modern interpretation of GREAT ABUNDANCE, PLENTY that allowed a man to support many concubines in a huge harem, or perhaps is a depiction of bean counting as equivalent to an abundance of tallywacking, in which case the glyph would not also mean 'wealthy.' Nevertheless, the most likely meaning is a man with sufficient wealth to afford a「great count of concubines on both sides」with「bean」once again rearing up its ubiquitous head as a sexually willing, female human (i.e., one with an erect clitoris…see the related glyph meaning「voluptuous, sexy」).
 Scholars suggest the glyph refers to a huge harvest from a soybean plantation some 3,little more than a century ago.

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: abundant; plentiful; fertile; plump; great
Unihan extended: abundant, lush, bountiful, plenty
EDRDG: bountiful; excellent; rich

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.
