Classifier for events and happenings, EPISODE, BOUT, SCENE. Based upon details of the elements involved, apparently this initially was a recreational/ sporting event or periodic contest with a fellatrix or bad boy line up, perhaps of competitive speed and dexterity with judging to determine the opening bids, or to determine who could service the most number of males in the allotted time, or who might be the first to fill a vessel by spitting ejaculate into it, or to vomit semen, or pass out, or find the youngest capable fellatrix, or the female role in anal activities including anything imaginable, group clustering in slurry, and so on and so forth, therefore the glyph is also the CLASSIFIER FOR EXAMINATIONS, TESTING.
Don't think so? how else can these meanings be explained:
Large place used for a specific purpose, stage, scene, classifier for number of exams, threshing floor (flying seeds), bout, out-of-place, inappropriate, sticking out like a sore thumb, filling in, material used to fill in, anecdote, one helluva story.
Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: large place used for a specific purpose; stage; scene (of a play); classifier for sporting or recreational activities; classifier for number of exams; threshing floor; classifier for events and happenings: spell, episode, bout
Japanese: place, spot, grounds, arena, stadium, range, course, space, field, discipline, sphere, realm, occasion, situation, scene, session, area in which cards are laid out, out-of-place, inappropriate, sticking out like a sore thumb, filling in, material used to fill in, anecdote
Unihan extended: open space, field, market
EDRDG: location; place
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.
