Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
FILLED (tripled) and POTENTIALLY UNSTABLE, ARRAY OF COPULATION
…or: much SCREWING with ORGY PILE COPULATION
Various older elements were merged and combined to mean HIGH MOUND (triple「soil」and「top heavy, tipsy」), that it SEEMS TOO FAR AWAY to walk and reach it. Formerly, the three「soil」elements and「unstable」() to indicate something piled up very high that may collapse, such as a dike or levee. China is noted for some serious flooding, perhaps the worst in the world, due to a build-up into unseen natural dikes under the water's surface of settling yellow loam clay around river「twists, bends」that suddenly burst, flooding surrounding farmland and permeating it with the clay, causing crops to fail. The flood itself would drown thousands of peasants (nobility choose to live high on the hilltops for this reason, and others). Rotting corpses then would cause epidemics, and widespread famine would follow since the once-fertile land was now covered with clay. Also used as the name of an ancient wise guy, perhaps the one who first thought of copulating into soil, or, grew some fine mushrooms, or, had a large harem with whom he practiced alternative sexual positions and orifices. Replacement glyph is「dog baculum spearing penis」and「array of copulations」(尧).

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.
