Meanings of elements

PERSON with ERECTION and ROD, RECIPROCATING MOTIONS

Original glyphs depict either「person」or「high tension, no-longer-integrated foot (ㄅ)」above「erection」with「reciprocating vertical motions, rod」as a PERSON IN BETWEEN, or, some part of a person on both sides as if wrapped around, JAMMED INSIDE. Meaning TO INTRODUCE (literally,「to lead within」), as in to provide someone with beginning knowledge or the first experience of something or of someone else, with one person demonstrating to another person how to do something, or, a person bringing together two other people for the first time and explaining about each one to the other in order to enable a relationship between the two to continue. Also in Chinese meaning to be lying down in between two other people, a meaning further elucidated in glyphs meaning 'both, both sides' (両 and 中). Also, to be encased like a SHELLFISH within its shell, for example, a scallop or a clam, a mussel, an oyster, that uses tension to hold closed two sides of an encasing or wrapping shell structure clasping tightly around inner meat.

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.
