Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
HEAD with TALENT
…or: HEAD on ROD VERTICAL TWICE
…or: HEAD with TWO HANDS
…or: PRONE and SCREWING
…or: ROD with HORSE
「Talent with head, using two hands」to control domesticated CATTLE. Compare this glyph to the Zodiac sign for Horse:「head」with「downward thrusting」 except that a bit of a hump (or「rod」) has been added at the top-center, depicting the higher shoulders and backof cattle such as brahmas, yaks, and water buffalo indigenous to Asia. Cattle can sleep standing for relatively short periods, as do horses for much longer periods (cattle merely doze while standing…recall the mischievous practice of「tipping cows」).
 Actual CATTLE were often used as a store of value and as a medium of exchange. CATTLE were at times valued more than ordinary human women, at least by the men who owned the cattle anyway, since normal women and ordinary slaves were not as scarce, nor could they provide as much meat when slaughtered. This same distinction exists in English, as the word「cattle」stems from「chattel」meaning owned personal property, and「capital」as something with future value (see . Significantly 妞 means「little girl」held as a herd asset, in a harem). As an element, usually depicts the MOST IMPORTANT THING a man owns, animal husbandry of one's harem assets, more than ordinary slaves or wives also anciently thought of as owned by a male.
 Refers to FEMALE ANIMALS PROVIDING MILK AND MEAT, directly related to one's「jugs and meat rack」or「stock on hoof」as available assets for resale or use in the harem, the herd of chattel of live meat inventory of concubines and/or service providers (bound and no-longer-integrated feet resemble an animal with hooves…see the related glyph ,「head down looking at the clitoral red bean of meat」), the MOST IMPORTANT THING a lord, shaman, or wealthy man owned. If so, the elements are then obviously「prone and screwing」or「talent with head, screwing rod」or「head and two hands to accomplish a task」and so on.
 Perhaps this glyph is the dynastic Chinese origin of the English term CASH COW (female cattle are called「cows.」The males,「bulls」), which is defined as a business (see ) with products (see ) that captured a large market share (half the world are males) that yield profits reliably for years to come, without further investment (only feed them) and with minimal maintenance (re-dis-integrating feet bones every so often).

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: ox; cow; bull; (slang) awesome
Japanese: cattle, cow, ox, oxen, beef, Chinese "Ox" constellation, cattle manure, cow dung, cowpat, bullshit
Unihan extended: cow, ox, bull
EDRDG: cow

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.
