Perhaps describing when trees, shrubs, and plants have been dug up and the roots bound with jute burlap or some other wrapping during transport prior to replanting, plunging the ball of soil and roots into new ground and often causing some injury or wound to the plant, although it should soon recover. Depicts PLANTING, IMPLANTING, TRANSPLANTING a tree, crop, etc. Canine males, the「dogs」are endowed with a very special penis, unlike any other penis. The dog schlong is equipped with two glands located at the base of the shaft that engorge and harden upon erection, normally after penetration into the bitch's vaginal orifice. These locking bulbus glandis swell large enough to prevent the penis from being extracted from the bitch's vagina for quite some time. The swollen bulbus glandis at the base of the penile shaft covered by the bitch's hairy vaginal skin resemble the root ball wrapped in jute at the base of a tree during transplantation.
Some sources claim the elements refer to giving seeds a head start by first using starter trays for germination and then transplanting the sprouts into soil after sufficiently developed, a procedure used for rice planting. Yet if so, the Chinese meanings of INSERTING HEAD FIRST and FORCING SOMEONE might require that the seedlings be implanted upside-down with the seedling top in the muck and the roots protruding like kicking legs. This technique is not often deliberately used since it was observed that the young plants tend to die.

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.
