Meanings of elements

GLORIOUS FLASHING with ROUNDISH MASS
…or: SUN and UPPER PORTION
…or: GLOSSY WET SHINY APPEARANCE, GLORIOUS FLASHING with ROUNDISH MOUND, CLAY-LIKE BLOB, PILED HIGH AND DEEP, SHITPILE
…or: TONGUING SOMETHING IN A MOUTH, SPEAK, HAVING A REASON TO DO SOMETHING, PRETENDING, A PRETEXT, EXCUSE GIVEN TO HIDE THE TRUE REASON FOR SOMETHING with LEGENDARY SAGE, UPPER PORTION, BEING ABOVE OTHERS, HAVING ONE'S NOSE IN THE AIR, HIGH MOUND, FAR OUT, PILED HIGH NIGHT SOIL, A MONGOLIAN CLUSTERFUCK, ARRAY OF RODS COPULATING, FEELING OR BELIEVING THAT ONE'S SHIT DOES NOT STINK, NOT CARING AND BECOMING ACCUSTOMED TO THE SMELL OF FECES, THE HUMAN CONDITION IN ALL ITS ASPECTS

Right element is three「ground」elements (「mound up, build up」) above「high, unstable. Origin, bald head」to mean「high mound, far away, upper portion.」And with「sun」meaning to see just the upper portion of the Sun at DAYBREAK as it first appears above the horizon (「ground」that is very far away from you). ENLIGHTENMENT is the moment when one first perceives like the rays of「dawning, light rays breaking through the darkness」and one's enlightenment is a great EVENT in one's life. Perhaps explicit instructions to focus tonguing efforts on the upper portion of the bald head, the glans.

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.
