Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
LOINCLOTH, CLOTH WRAPPING FOR ONE'S HEAD OF SOME SORT, LAP CLOTH, ONE'S PRIDE, FREQUENT REPETITION, ROD in SPREAD LEGS with SENIOR CHIEF, HEAD ELDER, TO GROW LONG, INCREASE, DEVELOP, CONSTANT
Each time the lord copulated with an official harem member, a journal and record was maintained of the results. Shamans used the same system for time and billing of service providers with clients. Maintaining the books became the task of trusted long-timers, senior staff members.
A「long loincloth」acted as a CURTAIN, VEIL, SCREEN, DRAPERY that initially covered the groin region. A person's removed loincloth was discovered to be handy as a medium for RECORDING MEMORANDUMS of sexual activity and partners, forming a JOURNAL, REGISTER, LOG BOOK of these ACTIONS…if you have a supply of 'beans' then you need bean counters.
Replacement glyph elements of「fleshpot elders, seniors」or「fleshpots a long time」or「fleshpots that excelled」or「wealth extensions」and so on. Each time the owner's, master's, lord's fluids flowed with a harem concubine the result was graded and noted in an official register in a journal maintained by the eunuchs, useful for many reasons. Later, it was discovered that as yet unused loincloths functioned better as writing material prior to the invention of paper, being less prone to misreading due to fecal skid marks, blood, and gleet stains, and cloth was used for permanent recordkeeping. Shamans actually were the founders of modern accounting methods and practices…see the glyph「counting」for details (数). English words 'count' and 'cunte' are derived from the same source as are the elements in the glyph for 'shaman.' Modern accounting methods are in fact the resulting logical progression of the shaman's function as a soothsayer, diviner, explainer of the mystical and religion, doctoring and snake oil peddlers, using opium smoke and mirrors used to confuse and deceive the gullible in order to bilk them in schemes, and so on as they relate directly to the use of CURTAINS, VEILS, and SCREENS to hide and conceal the truth.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

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.
