Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
PALM DOWN with FRONTAL LOBE OF BRAIN and ARRAYED
…or: TWISTING and HANGED with EYES
Traditional fonts use elements of「palm down (grasping, control) cerebral frontal lobe, head inverted or placed upon a low display table」() conveying the same general meaning as some modern fonts that use elements of「twisting eyes hanged, arrayed」or more likely, the threat of becoming「hanged or decapitated」as supper meat「twisting above a fleshpot.」Equivalent to the English「-rect-」as a root of words meaning straight, exactly vertical, 90-degree RIGHT ANGLE. DIRECT, CORRECT, RECTANGLE, RECTIFY, IMMEDIATE (「right」now). Extended meanings such as HONEST, CORRECTION, REVISE stem from the FEAR OF EXECUTION, as in「correcting a prior statement」during an inquisition (「…oh, ahh, sorry, please allow me to amend my prior statement before my neck is stretched beyond further use…」), or an instant CONVERSION by accepting the (fief) lord into one's heart so as to avoid being executed. Ignoring the obvious elements, some say this glyph is a palm shielding sunshine from eyes and depicting a straight line of sight (?).

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.
