Meanings of elements

[See 令 for vocabulary and usage entries]「In front of a person」or「person with rod」on top, perhaps talking to someone who is「kneeling and bowing, kowtowing on the ground in the lordosis position」or「highly tense for a long time in motion up and down vertically, rod in no-longer-integrated foot」[Elements vary by font]. Perhaps an ORDER, COMMAND to assume the lordosis position or some other desired position, issued to a concubine or some other type of service provider, by an owner, lord, emperor, priestess, pope, or some other human authority figure.「Presently, now」with「drip」or indicating some other sort of emphasis point, combine to suggest CAUSE SOMETHING TO OCCUR, and may well have been used in a complimentary manner as an honorific for a clever and skilled person who was ordered to assume a kneeling position, and so on. Note that royals the world over get off on ordering others to bow, kneel and scrape before them, believing in their own divine right of kings and queens to issue such orders as if some sort of homage and reverence is innately deserved due to a birthright, or some other self-deception.

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.
