Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
FEET IN SOME SORT OF STANCE, UNSTABLE and THRUSTING DOWNWARD, DRY, DRAIN, EBB, DEFENSIVE, MAIN TRUNK OR SHAFT and TAUT
…or: FOOT IN USE WHILE INVERTED with HEAVEN, DIVINE, CELESTIAL, BOUNDLESS, NO LIMIT, NEVER-ENDING, HEAVENLY, SKY
Tenth sign in the Chinese zodiac, meaning A FEW DROPS, not a huge flow, sprinkles in one place but not others. Top element depicts「unsteady stance, meat feet」perhaps of a deity who has answered your or your shaman's prayers for providing service. Standing on heavenly clouds might cause the deity's stance to be a bit unsteady, particularly during that initial 'moment of the clouds and the rain.' Scholars say that the lower element is heaven—「downward thrusting penis to one side」with a marker stroke or「taut」to the other side that depicts a male deity spurting fluid such as a dog might when marking territory with urine, a little over here and a little over there until he becomes「dry.」「Downward thrusting penis」indicates「all fluids drained, dry」perhaps as a 'clouds and rain' pattern. Note the glyph for「rain」itself (雨, excreting many sticky drops) may depict being urinated upon by a deity, or a goddess discharging her heavenly dew. The so-called「ten heavenly stems」(十天干) all have something to do with a male erection or the application thereof, which is exactly why they are called screwing, full and heavenly and stems: 1 甲, 2 乙, 3 丙, 4 丁, 5 戊, 6 己, 7 庚, 8 辛, 9 壬, 10 癸.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

Japanese EDRDG: 10th calendar sign

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.
