Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
KITCHEN STOVE and ROTATE, TWISTING, TURNING with COOPERATING, PILED ONE ON TOP OF ANOTHER, LAYERED and with SQUATTING BENT LEGS
…or: HEATED IN HEAT, BURNING ON FIRE FLAMING and with LEGENDARY SAGE, NOT CARING AND BECOMING ACCUSTOMED TO THE SMELL OF FECES, THE HUMAN CONDITION IN ALL ITS ASPECTS
「Sage with flames, upper portion of flame, flaming pile of feces」suggests the person who first thought of cooking meat with all its benefits and advantages, not the least of which is destroying pathogens within the raw flesh, aiding digestion of long proteins by breaking those molecular structures, increased adsorption of energy content, making foods easier to chew for those missing teeth, enabling preservation for later use, and so on…note that according to modern anthropologists, this sage lived in East Africa approximately 1.8 million years ago. Many, if not most anthropologists speculate that the cooking of meat and other foods was the pivotal change that enabled enlargement of the human brain and higher-level cognitive skills, leading to the development of today's 'civilized' human condition in all its aspects.
 Formerly with the right element of three「soil, feces」elements as「built up, mounded, compacted soil」over「unstable, squatting with bent legs」() to mean「high, upper portion.」With「fire」meaning to ROAST above the flames, in the upper portion above the coals. Humans have used dried feces as cooking fuel for hundreds of thousands of years and still do today where dead wood is scarce. These elements might also be interpreted as「fire, top heavy, easy to collapse, unstable mound」of a bonfire, but in this case it is more likely to mean「roast above the coals」since bonfires tend to scorch food in seconds, rendering it unpalatable and consisting mostly of the remaining carbon after oxidation.

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.
