Gardeners say that ground orchids are easy to grow but you do not want to allow the soil to completely dry out for too long. Consistently damp or moist but well-drained soil is a must. Sticky fluids such as:「Glucose, trehalose and mannitol were all absorbed by leaf slices of the orchid Bletilla hyacinthina. The rates of uptake of trehalose and mannitol were respectively 17.8% and 33.6% of the glucose uptake rate. …Glucose and trehalose were extensively metabolized within the tissues….」

Chinese source lists this glyph as representing the two glyphs 菫草 (wild violets with grass, すみれぐさ),「smother with density」and「fucked」that depict this same MUCILAGINOUS moist and sticky, viscid, clammy coating that is used as a NATURAL LUBRICANT, also found in the grated roots of wild violets that contain antimicrobial antioxidants called anthocyanins (kills bacteria in foot crotches), salicylic acid acting as a disinfectant and tissue solvent that softens calluses and hard skin.
As depicted in erotic Chinese art, men in dynastic China masturbated by wrapping no-longer-integrated feet around an erect penis ostensibly to lower the risk of contracting a sexually transmissible disease or infection that often occurred when performing coitus within some sort of mucous membrane system of a female service provider, and, to gain hand-control over the pressure applied to the foot meat surrounding a weakened penis that functioned as a living cockring.
「Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's [no-longer-integrated] bound feet」(after removing the binding cloths, of course)

「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

As yet unopened orchid blooms that are staggered along a long green shaft are likened to TESTICLES (「orchid」is the Greek word for these organs), and opened blooms likened to female human genitalia:「The first comprehensive anatomical study of the clitoris was led by O'Connell and published in 1998. A subsequent study in 2005 examined it under MRI. It was not, O'Connell discovered, just a small nub of erectile tissue, described in some texts as the 'poor homologue' of the penis. Instead it was an otherworldly shape, with the nerve-rich glans merely the external protrusion of an organ that extended beneath the pubic bone and wrapped around the vaginal opening, with bulbs that become engorged when aroused. It looked like an orchid. It was beautiful.」

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: Bletilla hyacinthina (mucilaginous); Acronym for the Chinese Elder tree 菫草
Unihan extended: name of a plant, the roots are used for various purposes
EDRDG: name of a plant; the roots are used for various purposes
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.
