Meanings of elements

HAND with ARRAY of PRICKS

In China, the traditional manner of saluting and greeting was/is to make a fist with one hand, place the other palm over the fist, and hold both against one's chest, the 'fist and palm salute': palming a fist apparently symbolized the tasks of a slave, and you can imagine what part of the master might have been within those two hands…hint: elements are「hands with array of pricks」that suggest ten fingers and thumbs pointing skyward.

「Hand(s) with array of pricks」as it refers to religious services in the old days at the shrines and temples of the shaman and her maidens KNEELING to perform services, and may be one reason that while praying today, people often 'fold their hands' forming the shape of an erection, or more likely to surround an erection in the old days, or to SALUTE with a stiff hand. Putting one's two hands together in the shape of a miter, also a deliberate phallic symbol worn on the head.「Hands」with「array of tallies, pricks」to PERFORM A RITUAL (a ritual is the same set of actions repeated again and again), or to MAKE OFFERINGS to the gods (paying clients), or to PRAY, BOW DOWN, SUPPLICATE, KNEELING. Scholars tell us the right element was 'a really special plant cutting' for whatever sense that makes.

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.
