Meanings of elements

FACE DOWNWARD with HEAD TAUT and TIGHT WITH SPRING-LIKE ACTION
…or: RECIPROCATING ROD MOTION HORIZONTALLY, AN ARRAY, INDICATES EXTENT and CEREBRAL FRONTAL LOBE, PERSONALLY MYSELF with SPREAD FEET, HEAD CROTCH, STARTING AND STOPPING, BE DELAYED BY SOMETHING

Depicts SUMMER (be sure to see 夓 and 是, the old versions that included elements of「copulation deeply inside cavity with two sets of lips」and「fellation, array of erotica」respectively): a season of warmth and when human beings may not have worn too many clothes…actually, humans still don't wear too many clothes in summer, particularly when at the beach or where it is summer all year long, such as on the African savannah or desert areas.
Today, folks at many beaches often have「facing head downward with cerebral frontal lobe memories processing the visual nerve responses from seeing spread crotches」or「facing down between spread feet and taut spring-like bouncy action」as one natural result (actually, that behavior is the natural attraction and result), or in the good ol' days as「facing downward looking at feet inverted in the air」with spread wide open legs staring back at cogitating faces. Note that early humans first inhabited beach areas as preferred locales, with many caverns in the hills nearby, plenty of food to be picked up from the sand at each low tide daily, moderate temperature and weather from the effects of the sea, easy to find fresh water by walking along the beach until locating a stream, and returning home without becoming lost simply by following the shoreline, nice court areas for volleyball, boat launches for fishing, water sports of all varieties, etc.
It is far easier to believe that humans got naked on the beaches during SUMMER, as we still do today, than believing in 'summertime-only mask dances' and other explanations. Note that the old form of this glyph (夓) added「both hands firmly grasping」while「contemplating copulation with head in crotch, spread feet.」Or the elements were「facing down cogitating copulation」between the two sides of「cavity with two sets of lips」and「heels held over the head beside the ears」(not likely describing the use of masks while dancing, and more akin to 'beach blanket bingo' or, 'how to stuff a wild bikini' or, 'anal hookers' and so on).

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.
