Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
PULLED TO ONE SIDE, ABNORMAL SHAPE and SCREWING, TWISTED
…or: CHEWED UP with DISEASED PENIS, SWINE'S SNOUT, PIG'S HEAD, DOG SNOUT (as euphemisms)
Old Zodiac glyph meaning WATER BUFFALO, CATTLE. Elements are「pulled on one side, out of shape」with「screwing」and a cattle cow signals receptivity for copulation while in estrus heat by tilting her pelvis to one side and her head also, looking behind to one side for the bull keeping the harem. Adult cattle are too large for lordosis, apparently. 妞 is defined as「little girl」that in China also meant her foot meat was「pulled out of the normal shape, disfigured and mauled for screwing.」
Also seems to suggest the way some folks close one nostril by screwing up the mouth and nose when sensing a really terrible odor…or a merging of「screwing and pig snout」that describes the stench of the bound feet of an obese concubine and using one no-longer-integrated foot.「Wide nose pierced」as a method of inserting a ring or rope in the animal's nasal septum and using that highly sensitive, nerve-filled tissue to control an animal (牽), a practice still used today, but was used on concubines with their feet that affected one's nose, primarily. Related glyph (毌) shown only as an example of other 'overly-filled orifices' as a bad smell in a snout, nasal orifices, or used in glyphs depicting piercing, demons, mothers, women off-limits, shamans, toxicity, penetration, and so on.
A COURT JESTER, CLOWN was often a disfigured person who entertained others, not unlike comedians who act disfigured, or as might an idiot, to elicit laughs from 'normal' people, noting nonetheless that more recently the practice of mocking others afflicted with muscular dystrophy, epileptic spasms, or dwarfism is no longer considered humorous by a reasonable audience, nor should it be…but in the PAST, people laughed at that all the time (e.g., Jerry Lewis during the middle of the past century in the U.S.A.). Other disfigured persons who entertained others were all the harem concubines with deliberately no-longer-integrated feet, the LORD'S HERD OF MEAT, his CATTLE CHATTEL, the symbol of his wealth and status. More recently, Japanese television celebrities still contort themselves, behaving as do idiots, and whack others on the head with large plastic hammers—just for laughs. It is no coincidence that the glyphs used in Japan to mean both 'TV celebrity' and 'geisha, female entertainer on the floor' are the same…remember, 妞 means「little girl」as a「female who is mauled, disfigured, an ox, chattel.」
(1) 子 rat (children, spermatozoa)
(2) 丑 cattle (herded meat assets, harem)
(3) 寅 tiger (religious dogma, enslavement)
(4) 卯 rabbit (female, reproduction)
(5) 辰 dragon (power sex)
(6) 巳 snake (fornication)
(7) 午 horse (autoeroticism)
(8) 未 sheep (zooerastia)
(9) 申 monkey (deities, anal-centric)
(10) 酉 cock (cognitive processing impairment)
(11) 戌 dog (male, domination)
(12) 亥 swine (humanity in general).

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.
