Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SHOW, DISPLAY, INDICATE, RELIGION and SOIL, NIGHT SOIL
「Religious grounds」as taking advantage of the good faith of others for profit. Community religious SHRINES were where people congregated, meaning SOCIETY, and therefore also where a great deal of BUSINESS was conducted. A famous religious personality has also claimed that the「god of the Earth」today (the elements used in this glyph) is making money in business society, something about 'serving both god and mammon' that also relates RELIGION, SOCIETY, and MONEY BUSINESS.
Left element「religious display」may also refer to the no-longer-integrated feet of a RELIGIOUS shaman's divine apprentice bound tightly in cloths, a sacrificed human as objectified meat (with considerable training, though) that was sold to wealthy men at incredible markup, generating huge profits for the shaman and becoming a MONEY BUSINESS that affected all of Chinese SOCIETY.
「Display of soil, feces」as someone who is indicating a preference for anal entry, or, for the extra fees associated with anal entry. Right element is also used to depict anal sex, a favorite among clients (see the glyph meaning both 'agreeable' and 'habit-forming,' 嬖). The sages often used the theme of anal sex in glyphs referring to religion, in particular Buddhists, and some secular sources confirm that such were the goings-on at many temples.
A「diva」is a highly distinguished female singer, and the word originates from「divine, a goddess, a really good singing girl」who was trained as the apprentice of a divining female, the local shaman witch doctor…「singing girl」is a euphemism for a superb sexual services provider, perhaps since she can use her tongue so well or because she causes her clientele to cry out loud and burst into hollering song. Shamans sold the services of these girls, and sold the girls themselves, too…called 'witch doctors' because they also sold divination services along with sex, and attempted to doctor you up after you contracted a sexually transmitted infectious disease in their 'temple, shrine of love'…all as MONEY BUSINESSES of the shaman.
Some browsers will not display this glyph using certain fonts…the actual glyph may possibly be seen within other glyphs as an element.

Japanese EDRDG: company, firm, office, association, shrine

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.
