Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
PLANTS with PERSON and HERBS, CANNABIS, SCREWING EMISSIONS
…or: PLANTS with PERSON WAITING, ETC.
「Arrayed, one」when「weary」as TEA, a stimulant. Elements as「plants」and「person」with「cannabis, herbs, waiting, more of the same.」Meaning TO WAIT PATIENTLY while drinking herbs in a brew or an extract, such as TEA, or in the old days, as cannabis resin dissolved in wine, etc. Molecular compounds in water-brewed tea also bind to the cannabinoid receptors in the human brain, and while the effect is muted due to lesser amounts, TEA acts in the same manner as cannabinoids. Resins do not generally dissolve in water, but will dissolve in alcohol (wine) as tinctures…note that this same idea was applied quite successfully by an Atlanta, Georgia-based manufacturer of what are now referred to as 'soft drinks,' drinks that formerly were rather hard, and contained cocaine and caffeine (why do you think they called it「Coca-Cola®」and before that,「coca wine」? ), a company which is still in the business of profiting by「Dispensing Happiness™」as the world's largest beverage company.
 「Plant, emerging shafts」and「person screwing emissions」refers to the high caffeine level of TEA. Tea contains caffeine, a drug to「get it started.」Caffeine acts on the brain significantly as a psychoactive drug affecting increased levels of dopamine and other erection-causing hormones:「Inside the body caffeine acts through several mechanisms, but its most important effect is to counteract a substance called adenosine that naturally circulates at high levels throughout the body, and especially in the nervous system. In the brain, adenosine plays a generally protective role, part of which is to reduce neural activity levels – for example, there is some evidence that adenosine helps to induce torpor in animals that seasonally hibernate. …A reduction of adenosine also has profound effects on most of the other major neurotransmitters, including dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, and, in high doses, on norepinephrine as well as epinephrine, glutamate, cortisol, and to a small extent endorphins. …Because caffeine is both water-soluble and lipid-soluble, it readily crosses the blood–brain barrier that separates the bloodstream from the interior of the brain. Once in the brain, the principal mode of action is as a nonselective antagonist of adenosine receptors (in other words, an agent that reduces the effects of adenosine). The caffeine molecule is structurally similar to adenosine, and is capable of binding to adenosine receptors on the surface of cells without activating them, thereby acting as a competitive inhibitor. Adenosine is found in every part of the body…」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
