Meanings of elements

CAVERNOUS with FOOT SHUFFLING, FOOT DRAGGING ROYALS
…or: WIDESPREAD BEHAVIOR OF HUMANS, CAVE OF WONDER and with PALACE COURT, OUTDOOR COURTYARD, IMPERIAL HIGH COURT, HAREM
…or: emphasis on ROD PALMING ERECTION and SHUFFLING MOTIONS with REPEATEDLY BOBBING HEAD on PENIS

The MAIN HALL of the imperial court where nobles spent their time, and, likely indicating the reason why they spent their time there.「Possessive, strict ownership, imperial court」with「cavernous」that depicts a large COURTYARD, such as might be in front of a palace…not forgetting that most of the court members were the 30,000 or so concubines under strict ownership of the Chinese dragon emperor, and in that case, the outer elements may be「emphasis on rod erection.」Inner element of「foot shuffling royals」may literally refer to overweight concubines and lords shuffling about in a COURT GARDEN, and more likely to「palming erections」than as speleologists literally spelunking, although corpulent royals delving into various dark, moist caverns is clearly intimated euphemistically.
「Two taut no-longer-integrated feet」refers to foot-binding of concubines, with the feet now in a wrapped and bound condition as they attempt to shuffle about with「royals」as the harem in the imperial「cave o' wonders」of a LARGE HALL. It is unlikely that royals actually were living under caverns or in caves at this time (a cave with a garden full of blooming flowers, no less), so this reference is most likely a continuation of the shaman's cave o' wonders metaphor. GARDEN, COURTYARD is the euphemism for a harem, and the individual FLOWERS in the garden is the euphemism for each concubine.
In Japan, refers to a GARDEN at one's home, perhaps since dis-integrating feet was not a custom of royals there. Derived from the concepts of implanting seeds, cultivating flowers, digging into soils, and so on.

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.
