Meanings of elements

BLOOD, BLOODY PHLEGM, STICKY BLOOD CLOTS, FAMILIAL BLOOD RELATIONS, emphasis on THIS SPOT RIGHT HERE and NETTING CLAPTRAP on ROD and SHAMEFUL, DISFIGURED, MAULED, UGLY WATER BUFFALO, CATTLE, HERD MEAT ASSET, BULLY

「Bloody and disfigured」as DEFEATED. Oxen were controlled by pulling a ring inserted through the septum, a sensitive area of the nose. Inserting the ring initially and subsequent jerking on an attached line would cause NOSE BLEEDING. Disfigured court jesters were often beat about the head until bleeding from various orifices just for the fun of it, great entertainment for royals sitting in court with nothing much better to do at the moment:「bloody jester.」…hey, why not beat the jester-joker about the head and shoulders for a while, reshaping the disfigurements? beating a「herd meat asset, one's chattel」or a「familial blood relation」about the head until bloody after she, or he, caused a「disfigurement」by clenching the jaw whilst engaged in fellating the lord of the household,「bleeding and pulled to one side, misshapen while in screwing position」would refer aptly to both participants, albeit involving different heads: DEFEATED, a lose-lose situation.

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.
