Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
FEELING THE DESIRE TO DO, EXCITED TO DO, FLOCKING TO PARTICIPATE, POPULAR, EXCITEMENT, ENCOURAGE TO DO, PERMIT TO DO, THRIVE, PROSPER, FLOURISH with INTERCOURSE, SPEAKING or SEXUAL ACTIVITY
「Speak about prosperity」formerly written with the old form of「flocking in droves, grasping a godsend」(譽) on top. The REPUTATION of the local wealthy shaman's cave o' wonders pleasure palace, temple of love, shrine of schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice)…「thriving prosperity with intercourse.」In the original Chinese meaning, this glyph simply means REPUTATION, and normally needs to be modified by an additional glyph or two in order to distinguish a good reputation from bad or benign.「Thriving intercourse, many hands in foreplay」might also gain a FAMOUS REPUTATION. However, in Japanese, the meaning has changed to generally depict people「talking about many hands working together」or「speaking about joint efforts」as a desirable personality trait and an HONORABLE REPUTATION deserving of PRAISE and to be GLORIFIED (highly respected). Modern Japanese elements are「talk, dazzling with pedestal」and this glyph generally means PRAISE.
「Like humans but unlike chimps and most other animals, bonobos separate sex from reproduction. They seem to treat sex as a pleasurable activity, and they rely on it as a sort of social glue, to make or break all sorts of relationships. 'Ancestral humans behaved like this,' proposes Frans de Waal, an ethologist at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center at Emory University. 'Later, when we developed the family system, the use of sex for this sort of purpose became more limited, mainly occurring within families [i.e., incest]. A lot of the things we see, like pedophilia and homosexuality, may be leftovers that some now consider unacceptable in our particular society.' 」

Many, if not most, anthropologists understand that bonobos today exhibit the behavior of early humans, and modern humans, too:
「Sometimes females would rather GG-rub [genital-to-genital] with each other than copulate with a male. Parish filmed a 15-minute scene at a bonobo colony at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in which a male, Vernon, repeatedly solicited two females, Lisa and Loretta. Again and again he arched his back and displayed his erect penis—the bonobo request for sex. The females moved away from him, tactfully turning him down until they crept behind a tree and GG-rubbed with each other.」

「The bonobo, an African ape closely related to humans, has an even bigger sexual appetite. Studies suggest 75 percent of bonobo sex is nonreproductive and that nearly all bonobos are bisexual.」 [ https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/weird-animal-sex-facts 2023-05-44 ]

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.
