Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
TERRACED SOIL SLOPE, REAR VIEW OF NAKED BUTTOCKS with PRESENTLY NOW, MORE OF THE SAME and CLOUDED, SURGING BILLOWING VAPOR, CRITICIZE, UTTER A COMMENT, SAY, SPEAK, ASSIGN A NAME TO SOMETHING, INTERCOURSE
…or: TERRACED SOIL SLOPE, REAR VIEW OF NAKED BUTTOCKS with FEMININE MOON MOONING, IMPLICIT, HIDDEN, GENITALIA, CLOUDY, SHADY, YIN (THE NEGATIVE PRINCIPLE OF YIN AND YANG)
Side of the「hill, backside」that is「now cloudy, musty, damp, stinky.」Right element is YIN of yin-yang fame: the right elements together appear as oppositely symmetrical shapes「in front of a person」implying contradictions, or, implying that the shape of the human female pudendum on one side resembles that of the buttocks on the other side, albeit with a variation in scale (and, most backsides lack a clitoris, although a protruding coccyx might qualify for some). Refers to the dark, misty side of a hill in shadow (not in sunshine,「now clouded」). Note the elements are「terraced slope (with two orifices one above the other, as a human backside)」that is「now with two diseased, short leg penises」and likely with one up each genital orifice, the whole scene as a「stench cloud.」Note that this glyph refers to the Moon, again as a clear reference to the mooning position of a female backside.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: overcast (weather); cloudy; shady; Yin (the negative principle of Yin and Yang); negative (electric.); feminine; moon; implicit; hidden; genitalia
Japanese EDRDG: shade, yin, negative, sex organs, secret, shadow
Unihan extended: 'female' principle; dark; secret

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.
