Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
GROUND in SQUARE SHAPE
…or: PENIS METHODS
…or: PENIS PALMING ERECT GASPING or in NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT
…or: DIRT PEOPLE
…or: ANAL DISTRICT
…or: FECAL METHODS
「Ground, dirt, soil, feces」with「method, person, side, way」that formerly in Chinese meant a dirty, low-life, sweatshop DISTRICT or a SUBSECTION within a city such as a NEIGHBORHOOD. Left element also is used as「night soil, rod in flesh seam, fecal matter」as a reference to YOUNG BOYS.
 Glyph now refers to any man training to becoming a Buddhist PRIEST or MONK (formerly, Tibetans). In this sense, DISTRICT may have actually been the「anal district」since the Taoist sages held the Buddhists in contempt and ridiculed them whenever possible, equating「ground-burrowing appendages」in this glyph with Buddhist ways of burrowing into night soil…and historical evidence suggests that Buddhists apparently did have such a fundamental affinity, although it is not our purpose to delve into that sort of stuff here. See the related and similar glyphs for further Taoist ridicule of Buddhists and Buddha in particular, that「loose dripping stinky guy」(), and of all other religions in general.
 In Japanese, used to depict the「raised square」embankment commonly used around a Buddhist temple, and the NEIGHBORHOOD that surrounds the temple (as in Chinese). An ACOLYTE who may have been passionately attempting to enter the temple, now training to become a temple priest. Any YOUNG BOY with some other stated characteristic as MODIFIER DESCRIBING A PASSION OR PARTICULAR TRAIT,「only this way, fecal methods」and so on.

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: workshop; mill; lane (usually as part of a street name); memorial archway
Japanese: bonze, monk, monk's dwelling, boy, sonny, I, me, familiar form of address, person who is …, young gentleman, Buddhist priest, young master, green young man from a well-to-do family
Unihan extended: neighborhood, urban subdivision; Japanese priest's residence; (Buddhist) priest; boy
EDRDG: boy; priest's residence; priest

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.
