Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

′
Meanings of elements
FACING the BEAN
…or: A BEAN IN YOUR FACE
…or: CLITORIS while FACING DOWNWARD
…or: BEAN-HEADED
The TOP OF THE HEAD, or what would have been visible when「head with face downward」was upon「clitoris, female genitalia.」In English also, use your「bean」or「use your noggin」(a noggin is a small pot or container, useful for cooking beans) both refer to your head and may have been derived from this glyph being learned by English traders in China and then returning home.「Bean with face downward」is a type of giving「head」that ought to have at least an honorable mention as the HEADER, LEADING INTO other activities.「Face down at clitoris」with the meaning of a COUNT OF CHATTEL within a lord's harem as his prime meat, the leading eunuch as the responsible BEAN COUNTER, perhaps, and as COUNTER FOR PIGS OR LARGE ANIMALS KEPT FOR MEAT. Meanings of EATING OUT, STUBBY, WITHOUT HESITATION, EATING THE BOSS, and so on seem to suggest a shaman taking some liberties by sampling the skills of her stable animals kept for meat and enjoying some personal time with her livestock.
BANGS of course are stubby hairs directly in front of one's eyes, another consequence of「facing the bean.」Modern scholars do not account for the possibility that the hairs may not be attached to the face or head, nor that the location of the growth may not be the head above one's shoulders.

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.
