Meanings of elements

BAMBOO, BOWING OVER, KOWTOWING, LORDOSIS, FLEXIBLE and with IN SEASON, RIPE AND GOOD COLOR, ESTRUS, IN HEAT OVULATION

Bamboo shoots are covered by sheaths and resemble curved erections. Quack doctors wish to examine a patient naked for sexual stimulation and arousal. Concoctions containing opium, alcohol, and honey were common cures for anything that ailed you, and even if there was no cure, the patient did feel better, and did not mind the doctor's various prying appendages and/or tools…not at all unlike the comedians of today who drug dates, or sports team doctors who massage a pelvis internally, or religious authority figures who claim miraculous feelings and cures, or entertainers who sleep with young boys, or motion picture producers billionaires and royals who do anything and anyone, and so on and so forth.

Chinese: bamboo shoot
Japanese: bamboo shoot, inexperienced doctor, quack
Unihan extended: bamboo shoot; joint; tendon

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.
