Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
METAL SURROUND ABOVE like CONCUBINE FEET
…or: AFFIXED by METAL DELIBERATELY OUT-OF-REACH
…or: PERSON with THRUSTING DOWNWARD PENIS FUCK, BECOME DRY AND DRAINED OF FLUIDS, DEFENSIVE COUNTERMEASURES, MAIN TRUNK SHAFT with SPURTING SHAFT STANCE, PERCOLATING GUSHING HOT FLUIDS FROM HOLLOW SHAFT and OUT-OF-REACH, DELIBERATELY SURROUNDING ROD of EROTICA
An INGOT,「metal that was fixed」as in the amount contained. Later BALL AND CHAIN might be the nearest English equivalent to chaining an ingot or two to a slave's ankles, in the hope that they don't run as fast, or as far, effectively becoming like a「concubine's bound feet, deliberately out-of-reach.」Metal SHACKLES were used to LOCK up the feet of a slave or prisoner, not walking any longer, affixed and surrounded on all sides.
 Another possibility, later during a more industrial age was a metal SLAB upon which something was securely attached (set, fixed, established, not moving any longer). Also meaning「pill, tablet」(of medicine), first called so because medicines formerly were in a loose, powdered form, but in the 1880s were concentrated and hardened by smashing down and pressing the medicine between metal slabs into「tablets」with some symbol or notational writing pressed into the medicine (just like an ingot, or a cuneiform tablet of the Sumerians or Egyptians) allowing it to be identified from other similar appearing tablets that were comprised of different medicines, so that a doctor, pharmacist or patient might not inadvertently ingest the wrong stuff. A tablet formerly was, and still is, a large, heavy wooden, stone or metal plate with an inscription on it that identifies something, such as a statue in a museum. Tablets also LOCK in a fixed amount of medicine to help prevent overdoses and for convenience.
 In more recent times, PILLS are used to deliver medicine for combatting infection and viruses.

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: (weaving) spindle; ingot; pressed cake of medicine etc; classifier for: gold and silver ingots, ink sticks
Japanese: lock, padlock, tablet, lozenge, pill
Unihan extended: spindle, slab, cake, tablet
EDRDG: lock; fetters; shackles

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.
