Meanings of elements

IMBECILES, RISING RED ORB with SOFT HAIRLESS LOIN SKIN, AN ORIFICE BETWEEN THE TWO FEET

Speculation as to why this glyph was used from antiquity by the Chinese sages as a reference to KOREA is not offered here other than to point out its location geographically between China and Japan, although the reasons are likely not unrelated to the Chinese sages also referring to the Japanese for 600 years as「crouching, submissive female dwarves」(倭) and thereafter as「imbeciles who believe the Sun rises from land」nor to the Chinese sages referring to serfs in China itself as「bastard pricks from both orifices that stifle the life out of all their surroundings…」(堇). Elements here however, are「imbeciles」with「soft skin of central loin orifice(s) between two upturned feet, in a spread-eagle position securing both legs in an unflinching position」that in English was initially used to describe a sailor lashed to rigging in preparation for flogging, or whatever else nearby sailors had in mind, but used here perhaps also to describe preparations for cudgeling a very young girl's foot arches with the blunt end of a mattock. Nonetheless, notably to their credit, Koreans do indeed have pretty beautiful skin all over, generally.

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.
