Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
DELIBERATELY OUT-OF-REACH of CONNECTED ORIFICES
…or: CONNECTED ORIFICES that are DELIBERATELY OUT-OF-REACH
…or: emphasis on SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES with BACKSIDES AS BODILY PARTS, CONNECTED AND JUXTAPOSED ORIFICES, ROWDY BEHAVIOR, FEMALE-FEMALE RELATIONS, CAUSING A HUMMING SOUND
「Surrounded from above, deliberately out-of-reach」by「low musical tone, droning」is a PALACE, or a Shintō SHRINE, or TEMPLE where they drone chants and thump wood (literally, for keeping the beat or to prevent dozing).「Surrounded from above, deliberately out-of-reach」with「chain of orifices」as a PALACE or SHRINE.「Surrounded deliberately out-of-reach」「two connected orifices」refers to a guarded PRINCESS in a palace, and her two out-of-reach connected orifices it would appear, or to her with her attendants (see 侶).
Refers to the Chinese corporal punishment of CASTRATION, perhaps because EUNUCHS were often employed in palaces due to the lack of testosterone, and hence libido, so that the eunuchs were likely to have a self-controllable sexual desire, with little interest in the harem members and all their related problems. Some religions and TEMPLES also create the appearance of eunuchs due to the dogma of celibacy that is preached, but more often than not this dogma simply drives the priesthood down a different path to get at fundaments.

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.
