Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
MYRIAD, HEAP, PILE in GLOSSY WET, SHINY APPEARANCE, GLORIOUS FLASHING
…or: SUN and UPPER PORTION, FAR OUT
…or: TONGUING SOMETHING IN A MOUTH, SPEAK SAY, HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING, PRETENDING, A PRETEXT, EXCUSE GIVEN TO HIDE THE TRUE REASON FOR SOMETHING with LEGENDARY SAGE, HIGH MOUND PILED SOIL, MONGOLIAN CLUSTERFUCK
…or: TONGUING SOMETHING IN A MOUTH with MYRIAD, HEAP, PILE and ROD in COPULATION
…or: TONGUING MOUTH with MUCH SCREWING and ARRAY of COPULATION
Formerly the right element was three「soil」elements (「mound up, build up」) above「high, unstable, tipsy, origins, bald head」(堯) to mean「high mound far away, upper portion.」With「sun」perhaps meaning to see just the upper portion of the Sun at DAYBREAK as it first appears above the horizon. ENLIGHTENMENT is the moment when one first perceives, similar to the rays of「dawning, light rays breaking through the darkness」and one's enlightenment is a great EVENT in one's life, such as a「group clustering in pile with fecal matter」as another possible reading of these elements, among others.

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.
