Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
CONTROLLED MOVEMENT, FASTEN, HOLD IN ONE PLACE, CONFINE or FLESH SLIT, BUNNY and PLUGGED ORIFICE FOR IMPLANTING with PERSON IN DOWNWARD THRUSTING MOTION, METAL REAMING
Seems to describe holding a candidate in the properly fastened position prior to beginning the foot-dis-integrating procedure that was used on upwards to one-quarter of humanity in China at one time, CAUSE TO FADE, EN MASSE, whacking with an axe but likely the blunt back edge of the head and not with the blade. GENOCIDE, KILLING, CAUSE TO FADE, EN MASSE by butchering a people using the blade edge and a tree stump. Perhaps means simply to skin a person alive as one might a rabbit prior to cooking, as torture or for its entertainment value to the audience. Note that trappers and others who routinely remove the skin or hide from a carcass normally do so by starting with cuts on each side of the anus down each leg, removing the skin from the legs, and then pulling the carcass through the now much-widened anus, over the head until only the nose and toes (and horns, if any) are still attached to the inside-out skin…PEELING OFF THE OUTER LAYER.

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.
