Glyph elements [ Toggle Font ]
This element is used in modern forms of glyphs to replace (㫺) very many people as piled meat, (㠭) very many flesh seams, (茻) very many emerging shafts or glans, and (叕) very many crotches, so either the two penises or two soil seams conjoined make some sense. The modern four-stroke depiction is decidedly easier to write than any of the previous elements it replaced, and conveniently obfuscates the source meanings as well, making the element easier to teach to younger pupils (albeit with some degradation of comprehension) to mean LAYERS…and literally, cooperating folks who lay are in fact layers or getting laid: brick layers, pipe layers, egg-layers, laying successive deposits of material, and so on.
While we all may not agree with the morality, what more clearly epitomizes the concept of COOPERATION better than a bonobo-style orgy? clearly, a downward thrusting penis does not necessarily require the cooperation of the lower human or the ewe, but an「upward thrusting penis」implies that the partner is straddling ONE ON TOP OF ANOTHER, a position in layers requiring the COOPERATION of all involved. That there are two such penises in the element also implies COOPERATION, WORKING JOINTLY by swapping partners from time to time, experiencing BOTH, an indicator of orgiastic participation and COOPERATION.
Some browsers will not display this glyph using certain fonts…the actual glyph may possibly be seen within other glyphs as an element.
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.
