Meanings of elements

ENCLOSURE and OCCURRED FIRST, PRIMARY, ORIGIN, SOURCE, FORMER
…or: ORIFICE with TWO COPULATING
…or: ENCLOSURE with UNITS OF MONEY

「Original enclosure」before there were people, cities and parking lots, perhaps all the land was a recreational garden.「Orifice with two copulating, original source」of re-creating the species. Note that two copulating with a body part or animal species anywhere other than the 'old-fashioned way' with a human penis-vagina link will not tend to re-create the species. A place for growing plants is another way of saying a place for planting woody shafts and stems, planting seeds, and so on.「Units of money」in dynastic China were equated to a lord's wealth as demonstrated by his harem of fleshpots (貝 'aim, goal of, eyeing emissions') enclosed in his「garden of flowers」the harem of herd meat assets.

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.
