After arming the bow by inserting an arrow (literally being 'nocked up'), the bowstring was then repeatedly PULLED TOWARD SELF as each shaft was discharged. This same sort of action was used also after arming the arch of a no-longer-integrated foot with the penis inserted,「foot-binding cloth when removed and rod in reciprocating motions」to describe PULLING on the no-longer-integrated foot of a service provider and discharging one's shaft, perhaps more than once.
Nevertheless,「foot-binding cloth and rod in reciprocating motion」as well as the older version of this glyph,「talented hands with unbound foot cloths」(㧈), describes more fully some other meanings: TO INTRODUCE ONE THING INTO ANOTHER, TO GUIDE INTO, TO PULL INTO and TO PULL OUT OF, SUBTRACT, to QUOTE, to SEDUCE, action of a JERKING MOTION: first,「unbind the foot cloths」to INTRODUCE the foot slit, and then GUIDE the motion of the stiffened appendage into the no-longer-integrated foot, PULLING INTO, PULLING TOWARD self in a repeating, cyclic motion as if an ATTRACTION existed that could not be resisted, and then to PULL OUT again, repeating the sequence of reciprocating motions until satisfied with the results. To QUOTE is to PULL OUT some words spoken from a longer speech.
Sequentially discharging arrows from an archery bow entails performing essentially these same motions, noting that the glyph meaning 'arrow' also refers to multiple penile discharges (矢) More duality from the clever sages, no doubt.

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.
