Meanings of elements

MUCK ORIFICE with FECES and MANY EMISSIONS
…or: AREA INSIDE INTERNAL LINING OF SOIL WALLS, DIRTY PATH INTO NIGHT SOIL and MANY EMISSIONS
…or: PRICK PLUGGING ORIFICE with MANY EMISSIONS

[Japanese variant]「Inside or internal among soil walls」「plugging orifice of soil」and「many emissions」meaning BLACK, SMUT, EVIL. The「many emissions」that end up「inside the dirty path plugging orifice of soil」also are unseen, with DARK, OPAQUE with all of the associated connotations of porous hardened LAVA, brown sugar syrup, to make something black, to talk wrong into right, and so on. Chinese variant (黑).
　Obviously,「inside soil walls, night soil, fecal orifice with many emissions」refers to feces, of which most are brown in color when excreted from a healthy mammal due to the presence of bile acid and salts needed for digesting fats, and are not black at first. Nonetheless, after exposure to surrounding air, all healthy mammal feces will change in color to BLACK as the oxidation process of bile acids occurs. Since most Chinese households were not equipped with flush-type commodes a few thousand years ago, defecated feces were allowed to oxidize until used for farm fertilizing slurry, and changed in coloration to black. Mouse, dog, rabbit, deer, tiger, bear, giraffe, lion, horse, hyena and most other mammalian turds seen in the wild, unless quite recently excreted, also have changed in color to BLACK.
　Note that the following colors are all associated with the human body and its various emissions or conditions: black (黒, 黑). Purple (紫). Blue (靑,青). Green (緑,綠). Yellow (黄,黃). Orange (橙). Red (赤). And white (白).

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.
