…or: WOOD, WOODY with CORRECTION, REVISION, SAVE OR ASSIST, RESTORE, RECTIFY, CONTAINMENT AND CONTROL OF THE LORD'S ZONE

Refers to an area within a「lord's realm that has been contained with restricted access」as the government's attempt to cordon off with low walls (匡), foot patrols, and inspection gateways (鬥) for the purpose of restoring order and public health, correcting the spread of infectious disease from certain city or town quarters, districts, zones and rectify a problem, assist and save the populace from vice and illness rampant in the red-lined prostitution districts. Also describes splints applied in a vain attempt to rectify hopelessly bent wood, or to restrict access by a surrounding frame basket designed to cushion, protect, and hold a poultice batting in position.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: frame (e.g. door frame); casing; fig. framework; template; to circle (i.e. draw a circle around sth); to frame; to restrict
Japanese: door frame, window frame, frame sections of the door or window that provide most of its structural integrity, framework, border, box, limit, restriction, quota
Unihan extended: frame; framework; door frame
EDRDG: framework

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.
