Meanings of elements
OLD EMERGING SHAFTS
「Flower, plant」or someone young as in the flower of youth, with「old.」Concepts of TORMENT, HARDSHIP which infer a LONG TIME OF CONTINUAL SUFFERING are likely related to a young flower tied down with an old geezer, likely someone he purchased, and all the ANGUISH, BITTERNESS of regret that accompanies such a sort of relationship (it might have seemed like a good idea when he was forty-five and you were fifteen, but after twenty or thirty years, feelings change a bit). Young girls were often bought and sold for various purposes, but basically used as sex slaves, and the top elements may well have been「young virgin girl.」SUFFERING, BITTER, ANGUISH, HARDSHIP from perhaps a「plant that is old」as in one that is too old to be edible, or some herb from antiquity used as a medicine that tasted BITTER but relieved the ANGUISH and SUFFERING of abdominal DISTRESS, an herb such as wormwood or a purgative that caused constipated bowels finally to be relieved.
 「Viewing women as commodities [see ] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

 「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

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.
