Meanings of elements

MEAT with SOIL and GRAVE, DEAD, TOMB
…or: ORGY MEAT, multiple PENISES with PROSTRATE and STROKING
…or: SHARED COMMONLY COOPERATING PILED ON FLESH with WHACKING

「Piling on, buddy system」with「meat」and「whacking」or「prone and petting motions」and it is up to you to imagine what is being SCATTERED, DISPERSED, FLYING IN ALL DIRECTIONS by bonobo-like humans, with the participants LOOSENING and SCATTERING stuff. May also refer to the UNRAVELLING and DISPERSAL of no-longer-integrated feet in a harem.
　Scholars say this somehow depicts retting hemp, the process of separating stalk fibers from unusable pulse…however, with the elements of meat, prostrate and petting, whacking, and multiple penises in a pile of buddies cooperating with one another during an orgy, a more likely understanding was the need for detangling after a clusterfuck: note that the glyph contains no elements related to hemp whatsoever.

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.
