Meanings of elements

TERRACED SOIL SLOPE and COMPARISON
…or: NAKED HUMAN BACKSIDE and COMPARE TO
…or: TERRACED STEPS and PEOPLE SITTING above EARTH
…or: ASSHOLES, ALWAYS SITTING on FECES
…or: NAKED HUMAN BACKSIDE with DISGUSTING CONNECTION
…or: NAKED HUMAN BACKSIDE with RAISED LEGS above SHIT, FECES
…or: NAKED HUMAN BACKSIDE on FLOOR

A「terraced hill」or slope, normally covered with many levels of long, curving rice paddies that resemble steps as if a huge stairway from the「ground」up to heaven for「sitting people」(royals sitting on thrones) above「earth」or as deities in heaven. Right element alone means「equated」as in「comparison of concubines, night soil.」Note that the sages are again quietly deriding royalty by using elements of「naked human buttocks, backdoor schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice) of concubines」or as「assholes sitting together on feces, in dirt」and all this is presumed to mean YOUR HIGHNESS, YOUR MAJESTY. Note that most medical advice as well as the natural method for human beings to defecate is to squat with knees raised above the buttocks while still on one's feet, and not with the backside resting or sitting upon a throne (the commode, or 'toilet bowl').

Chinese: the steps to the throne
Japanese EDRDG: highness, steps (of throne)
Unihan extended: steps leading throne; throne

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.
