Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ERECT, COPULATING with LATERAL MOTION
…or: QUICK MOVEMENT, ERECTION THRUSTING FORWARD
…or: HAND on PENIS
…or: ROD in COPULATION
「Quick movements, erect」with「forward thrusting, kneeling forward」suggests the NINE required kowtows when appearing before the emperor of China: kneeling or lying prostrate and while down on the floor, touching your forehead to the floor three times, returning to an erect standing position, then kneeling and kowtowing again, etc., also performed three times, known as the「three kneelings and NINE kowtows.」
「Quick movements」with「forward thrusting」also depicts SPURTING, such as might occur after penetrating someone with a sword, or「erection」with「forward thrusting」will eventually SPURT after penetration, too. ARM BENT at the elbow is used to depict SPURTING bodily fluids other than blood, particularly if the elements can be understood also as「hand on penis」or a「rod within copulation」as floating on cloud NINE.
The numerals one through ten are all associated with hand gestures, used in China to avoid confusion while bargaining or simply due to pronunciation problems using different dialects, or while bidding at an auction and keeping the bid quiet. The gesture for NINE was to shape the index finger into a hook while touching the tip of the thumb to the middle finger, not unlike the shape of the Arabic numeral for NINE. This same gesture is used in many parts of the world as a rude gesture representing a male spurting due to self-stimulation, and often has this same connotation within glyphs.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. 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, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

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 seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they 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 lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
