Welcome! Introduction
Glyphs missing from your font set may appear strange, or not at all. We recommend enabling East Asian language support.

Glyph uses elements of「emphasis on erection, or, an erection in hot pursuit」in place of the old form of「one's meat」or「grasping at, grabbing.」
Scholars suggest the elements as「meat with elephant」(象) which is strange, since elephants are strictly herbivores. Perhaps the only real similarities with an elephant are the deep skin folds in both the elephant and that other animal's no-longer-integrated feet when doubled over, or the obese size of older service providers with much fatty meat, and being unable to run (nor can elephants run technically, since one foot must always remain on the ground even when elephants hustle). An elephant possesses the uncanny ability to imitate various sounds, just as service providers can accurately imitate various sounds of actual arousal, patterned nearly exactly after the voices of human beings far more accurately than the sounds that a parrot can reproduce. No-longer-integrated feet of service providers were intended to imitate vaginas, to feign or pretend as counterfeits, SURROGATES to SERVE AS copulation orifices. Lists of vocabulary in both Chinese and Japanese seem to have much to do with artificial sex and nothing that relates to elephants. Furthermore, engaging an actual elephant sexually should not be attempted at home, nor was it commonly practiced in dynastic China (at least not after the first few attempts, as it were…).

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.
