Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
BUNDLING EFFORTS
…or: HEAVY POLES FOR CARRYING with ORIFICE
…or: MANAGE, CONTROL and POWER, ERECTION IN NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT
「Manage with power」of a FIAT, IMPERIAL DECREE. But formerly the right element was「coerce」(敕) meaning「control by coercion, manage by whacking.」Note that it would not make too much sense to control a bunch of cargo or parcels tied to poles by whacking at them, and it would make even less sense for the dragon emperor himself to give such an order: left element is actually a「bundle, bevy of young virgins tied and bound for the lord's harem to be deflowered」being gathered (貴) as the result of the power of an imperial decree of course. Certainly a gaggle of recently-purchased young girls might get a bit excited, so some old fashioned stick whacking to put them back in line might have been a necessary but regrettable detail back in the old days. The「power to bundle for woody in orifice, vulva」clearly refers to the Chinese emperor and imperial decrees for gathering harem candidates. Some sources claim that the Chinese dragon emperor maintained harems of thousands, if not tens of thousands of young girls…after a while they all really would begin to look the same (see 同), no doubt.

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.
