Refers to a VILLAGE that is not always some remote place way out in the countryside, but also are special districts, zones, quarters within a larger city or town, often in the old days marked by surrounding walls with SOIL SLOPES and gateways as checkpoints, restricted entryways, a self-contained city area as a separate community having its own specialized business establishments that cater to a specific kind or class of patron, but also its own local laws, government regulations, customs, and even language at times that apply within an administrative division at the local government level, with police patrols and brute squads as enforcers. Used as a euphemism for both the HUMAN BUTTOCKS or the VULVA, both having a similar design and shape of rounded sides with a wet hole in the center, albeit on a different size scale (generally). As an element that appears on the left side of glyphs, denuded terrace-farmed SOIL SLOPES with trees removed, covered with stinky fluids, muck, and fecal slurry fertilizer in clay-lined paddies, and therefore NAKED. When it appears on the right side in glyphs, means「scorpion burrow, downward spiral into slippery slope orifice」as a VILLAGE or as NAKED FEMALE GENITALIA, the natural birthplace of human beings, the hole into which the「scorpion tail, appendage spewing venom, human penis」disappears and dwells for a time (when not utilizing the sole pleasures) for conception.

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.
