Meanings of elements

ERECTION REPEATEDLY within LOWLAND MARSHY MUCK
…or: emphasis on CAPITAL and ROD DOWN
…or: NIGHT SOIL, FECES with SALTY MARSHLAND, BLAME, REPROVE, REPRIMAND, EXPEL

As「soil, feces of salty wetlands」: feces are salty, generally, the chemical result of neutralizing digestive stomach acid with bile in the small intestine, and contact with feces that may or may not have neutralized all the acidic content without an adequate mucous barrier causes CHAPPING, irritated CHAPPED SKIN that SPLITS as does a chapped lip during cold winters:「emphasis on those borderline areas.」However,「emphasis on rod down of areas around a capital」makes little sense as CHAPPED, SPLIT, CRACKED unless「capital」refers to the flanged top of a thick column (such as a glans and prepuce) and not just an important city. Not many capital cities have been erected literally in salt marshes and muck, but it might be argued that most have become so at one time or another.

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.
