Glyph elements [ Toggle Font ]
Scholars tell us that the top and center element depict a string of jade stones, or beads, or bones, or teeth, or shells pierced and worn on strings, or whatever else they can dream of other than the meanings associated with 串 (see that glyph for details). Necklaces, bracelets, headdresses, and the drums were distinguishing trappings of a shaman (but, there are additional features).
「In the midst, the bull's eye (as in exactly where the bull is eyeing as his target on a cow), vulva」and a「rod」within or upon both juxtaposed orifices of a「woman」: similar to the same concept of witches 'flying' on broomsticks with the vaginal and anal crotches riding and sliding on smears of hallucinogenic unguents pasted on a shaft that quickly were assimilated by the mucous membranes within the vulva:「Broomsticks were also thought to be the perfect vehicles for the special ointments and salves that witches brewed up to give themselves the ability to fly, among other depraved activities. In 1324, when the wealthy Irish widow Lady Alice Kyteler was tried for sorcery and heresy, investigators reported that in searching Kyteler's house, they found 'a pipe of ointment, wherewith she greased a staffe, upon which she ambled and galloped through thicke and thin.' 」

Scholars also claim that「vulva, middle」perhaps depicts a drum-like, trance-inducing device (in addition to her actual vulva that was regularly penetrated pierced by various things), which was a piece of skin stretched over a bowed branch with a handle in the MIDDLE, that was rhythmically tapped as the connection between「beating or tapping something」and「stretched skin」…and who can argue that vulvas are not trance-inducing for most males? and many females too? vulvas with trance-inducing repetitive tap-tap-tapping of stretched skin?
In any case and in every culture, shamans were, and are, highly sexualized human beings.「Penetration vulva woman」as well as the modern replacement elements of「puckered anus, sticky splat of jism woman」(娄) clearly refer to both her roles in society as a professional sexual services provider and important religious figure dispensing advice while teaching and training others, witches doctoring the sick who were continuously oozing sticky splats of gonorrhea gleet (see 患), the WITCH DOCTORS. Notably, SHAMANS as the first purveyors of human religion also operated shrines and temples staffed with highly-trained prostitutes available for short-term rentals in exchange for a negotiated fee for the expressed purpose of causing ejaculations of sticky splats, and so on and so forth.

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.
