Large portions of the population became infected with pathogens, causing specific quarters and brothel districts within towns to be red-lined on maps within patrolled walls and gateways forcing medical inspections prior to admission in order to mitigate the spread of sexually transmissible infections. Actually, a large portion of the population today still are or have been infected with sexually transmissible infections. Estimates vary, but generally are in the range of one-third of the population of the United States of America are at any given time infected with an STD (maybe we should cease the practice of shaking hands?)…estimates of those folks who have ever had an STD once or more during his or her lifetime are of course much, much higher, and in the good old days thousands of years ago, those folks died young and in pain as the inevitable consequence.「Reform, correctness, moral straightness」that is「forced」depicts ADMINISTERING PROCEDURES to prevent the death of the population before taxes can be collected by the lord.
Alternatively interpreted as GOVERNMENTS and individual POLITICIANS must「force」themselves to reform, or at least maintain the appearance of being「proper and correct」if not in actual deed, or risk being executed, overthrown in rebellion and revolution, etc.

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.
