Not likely re-fermentation or brewing again, but perhaps rather slowly boiling off the alcohol from fermented product in order to capture the vapors and condense them into purer alcohol as DISTILLED SPIRITS. Stills often「exploded」if heated too much or too quickly. Slowly heating a fermented product such as beer or wine causes the alcohol content to evaporate before the water (mostly), due to its lower boiling point. Capturing the alcohol vapors and cooling them causes precipitation of more concentrated alcohol. As an example, this process conducted with grape wine yields brandy. The process is not actually brewing anything twice, but rather two separate processes: fermentation, and then distillation. Nor is the process fermentation twice…that process produces sparkling wines, such as champagne.
「Seething bubbling again with stance and arch of no-longer-integrated foot」refers to rekindling a service provider-client relationship in dynastic China, perhaps after a brief respite and glass of wine.
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: to ferment alcohol
Unihan extended: to brew for the second time
EDRDG: to brew for the second time
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.
