Meanings of elements

ARRAY of QUEEFING SOUNDS
…or: TONGUING MOUTH with TO BEG, REQUEST, PULL OPEN WITH BOTH HANDS, CENTRAL
…or: SUN and FLASHING, GLINT, QUICK LOOK, GLIMPSE

Some suggest that「sun central」perhaps refers to BRILLIANCE, and in fact for most of the day one can glimpse directly at the Sun's center only for a moment, similar to the BRILLIANT FLASH needed for a camera to successfully TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH (not an ancient usage, obviously). Referring to a resulting REFLECTION of light rays from off a wet surface, seen as the glint of light flashes from wetlands. Note that FLASH is a Chinese euphemism for having sex or exposing genitals, as it is in English, and that the camera was invented long after this glyph was created.
　Needless to point out perhaps is that TO HARMONIZE as in to fit together and TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION UPON (literally or figuratively), as in by pressing two surfaces together or pushing one onto the other…in this case the elements are「tonguing mouth with that central spot.」CASTING A SHADOW as something approaching, creating an outline IMAGE of one thing over another surface, particularly if a strong light source such as the SUN is behind.
　A GLOSSY, SHINY surface is one that is wet, as「a tonguing, open mouth」approaching a「begging, requesting, pulled open with both hands to reveal the central parts」person flashing and glinting, being ATTRACTIVE in a manner that leaves a lasting IMPRESSION, an IMAGE capable of capturing anyone's imagination. Perhaps the Chinese eunuchs responsible for maintaining HARMONY within the lord's harem soon learned that the best method of maintaining harmony was to allow this type of intimacy among the members: see all the various glyphs referring to harmony for a complete picture of what promotes its essence.

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)

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.
