Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
PASSING TIME IDLY, SUBDUE, BECALM with RECIPROCATING ROD MOTIONS
…or: EXTREMELY AT EASE, RELAXED with DELICATE ZONE, SHORT HAIR ORNAMENTATION, MANY STROKES, PELT, PAY ATTENTION TO, GREAT CARE NEEDED
…or: PERSON with ROD IN VERTICAL RECIPROCATING MOTIONS while PROSTRATE and STROKING, INCITING ACTION with SHORT HAIRS
「Extremes with pubic hairs, fur pelt」refers to nit-picking and cleaning every tiny imperfection. 'nits' being the term referring to eggs laid by lice and attached to a host's hair shafts. Picking them from a close companion is a relaxing behavioral trait of most primates.「Extreme stroking」: WORKING TOWARD PERFECTION, REVISE, CORRECT, REPAIR.
Then again, elements as「extreme range」with「many strokes, pubic region」or「person with reciprocating motion with forcing strokes」may refer to DO-OVER until a master at it, able to remain clean after completion by not fouling one's pelt after REVISING, CORRECTING one's form.
In the West, the saying goes:「if it ain't broke, don't fix it.」…so realize that this is not the same philosophy at work. This glyph means,「even if it ain't broke, keep making it better even if only little by little」(but always, always first make and retain a restorable backup prior to the attempt).

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.
