A hexapod is six-legged, as are insects:「Some evidence indicates the Protura are basal [evolved first, as the earliest base for other species] to all other hexapods, although not all researchers consider them Hexapoda, rendering the monophyly of Hexapoda unsettled. Uniquely among hexapods, proturans show anamorphic development, whereby body segments are added during moults. …Proturans have no eyes, wings, or antennae, and lack pigmentation: they are usually white or pale brown.」

Resembling the fanciful image of a dragon, salamanders and newts are considered by some to be the basal evolutionary species for tetrapods, four-legged animals. In addition, refers to the animal's ability to reform the「original, source」of its body parts and return to its「primary」state:
「Salamanders' limb regeneration has been the focus of significant interest among scientists. Researchers have been trying to find out the conditions required for regeneration. …The salamander is considered as the epitome of perfect regeneration and besides that, it may also have applications in healing injuries related to the spinal cord or brain and improvement in treatments which are linked to fibrosis or scarring.」

Chinese: Protura (soil dwelling primitive hexapod); variant of 螈, salamander; newt; triton

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.
