「Feces with male's vigorous blasting shaft, rod streaming with erection sliding head of stake into soil and discharging」describes the MOUND OF COMPACTED SOIL at the base of rocks, called a RAMPART, an Old French word meaning 'to take possession of' as described in the elements.「Ground」that is similar to a「dog erect, completed copulation.」An earthen, built-up, enlarged, bulging and extra-swelled area, i.e., a RAMPART, at the base of stone walls surrounding a CASTLE, later referring to the castle itself. Walls with bulging bases stood a better chance of not falling over, and were used around castles to keep unwanted people out. In many cases, a walled castle was constructed first in some strategic spot, and a city sprang up around or nearby it to provide services of all types to the royals and military personnel dwelling therein.
Right element of「become, complete」refers to anatomical features at the base of a dog's penile shaft that force it to「complete」the full actions of copulation necessary to achieve fertilization. Male canids, or the 'dogs,' are endowed with a very special penis, unlike any other animal's, equipped with two glands located at the base of the shaft that engorge and harden upon erection, normally after penetration into the bitch's vaginal walls, similar in shape to the base of the castle walls in the ground, particularly walls of a round castle tower. These locking bulbus glandis swell large enough to prevent the penis from being extracted from the bitch's vagina for quite some time, normally ten to fifteen minutes, give or take a few minutes, to allow the dog's semen sufficient time to get enough of a head start toward the bitch's ova that the male might actually sire some pups, completing his mission in life, rather than the semen of the next dick dog waiting to mount the same bitch in heat. Other analogies with copulating canids, dogs and bitches, rampart castles where royals lived in towers, and so on are left to your imagination.

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.
