Meanings of elements

BURNING, ON FIRE, FLAMING and SELECTED

Burning the surface of meat.「Burn flaming and selected」as a specific spot deliberately burned, to CAUTERIZE a bleeding would or infection, such as might be common in a gangrenous bound foot. BROILING (「selectively flaming」) kills any bacteria on the surface of meat prior to ingestion.
LUMINESCENT FLASHING,「flaming for selection」as do fireflies when searching for a sexual mate, sometimes flashing as also said in English「green with envy」as do fireflies (perhaps jealous flaming due to not being the one selected). Sometimes that flame of passion also burns to the death, the same as FLASHING among humans:
「In the Photuris firefly group, their flashing serves an additional purpose to the other uses. The Photuris female fireflies are expert predators, they are able to replicate the flash given off by females of another species. They use this false signalling ability to prey on and lure in unwary male Photinus, at which stage they devour them. The female firefly deposits her eggs in the ground after fertilization. This is where larvae are left to mature to adulthood. While underground the larvae feed by injecting organisms such as slugs and worms by injecting them with a numbing fluid. Adults forms avoid such prey and will generally feed on pollen and nectar, although some adults are known to not eat at all as they do not live long enough.」

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.
