Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
TWENTY, MULTIPLE SCREWINGS, PENETRATING SHAFTS, ARRAY OF RODS, EMERGING SHAFTS with UNRESTRICTED MOVEMENT, DISPERSED, RUNNING WILD, FEATHER-BRAINED, HARE-BRAINED
…or: GAIN CONTROL OF, SUBDUE with OFFER OF ERECTION SCREWING
…or: EMERGING SHAFT of DOG and WORKING WITH BOTH HANDS AT ONCE
[Elements vary by font]「Plants running wild, unrestricted growth」is UNDERBRUSH, a THICKET, although plants do not actually run much, but an「emerging shaft」might do so. Some suggest「using both hands to clear a path with a dog」to follow a scent, while hunting or following some prey through a THICKET. Or, the middle element is also「two hands (emphasized)」that suggests the need for many hands or moving hands quickly in order to pass through the UNDERBRUSH—nonetheless, these explanations do not fit all the given external meanings.
「Emerging shafts of taut erect rods and erection screwing」as A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT, and IMPERTINENT due to the likely spread of sexually transmissible infection from「hare-brained, gone wild for many emerging shafts」or「emerging shafts gone wild with many more emerging shafts.」IMPERTINENT means「exceeding the limits of propriety or good manners. Improperly forward or bold」
[ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/impertinent 2013-07-15 ]…gone wild for shafts and glans.
JAPANESE STAR ANISE is highly toxic and used as poisons and pesticides. Ingesting the plant causes severe inflammation of internal organs accompanied by seizures, hallucinations, and spontaneous puking: GROSSLY ILL-MANNERED to say the least. The dried brown seed pods resemble an anus, pods are ground into powder and burned as incense for both the aroma and the effect on cognitive functioning of the brain.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: thick weeds; luxuriant growth; Illicium anisatum, a shrub with poisonous leaves; impertinent
Japanese EDRDG: grass, grassy field
Unihan extended: thicket, underbrush; poisonous

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.
