Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SMOOTH, SLIPPERY, SLIDE OR SKATE, TO FAIL with TWO ENDS OF SOMETHING MAKE CONTACT, FOLDED OVER, IN-AND-OUT SIDE-TO-SIDE END-TO-END and with SLIMY VISCOUS STICKY FLUID, SPURTING STREAM OF EMISSIONS IN ALL DIRECTIONS, GLEET SPUTTER OR SPATTER
…or: STEPS, FOOT MOTION, DRAGGING FEET ACROSS A SURFACE and ATTACHED TO SOMETHING, FIRM GRIP OR GRASP, SEIZE HOLD OF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE, MENIAL LABOR, SLAVE LABOR, CAST OR FLING, INSCRIBE, SCRAPE AN INNER SURFACE
Elements can mean both「motion of seizing hold」or「steps for performing a menial task」or「slippery sliding in and out with sticky fluid release」to seize someone wanting to flee, or a motion to grab hold of someone, in this case perhaps slaves or guards ordered by a government official to APPREHEND a slippery master, to CONTINUE DOING UNTIL after the group has ARRIVED AT THE DESTINATION as ordered, but the patient then attempts to flee rather than perform a painful medical procedure (庸). APPREHEND means to know what is about to occur and fear it, to seize hold in order to prevent fleeing or further movement, to become aware of and anticipate with anxiety and dread, to grasp with an understanding and recognize the meaning of something: nobody enjoys being bougie-reamed.
Literally as the「foot motions with rod in and out grasping hold and stream of fluids and drops in all directions」and「motions of flinging with slave」until arriving at the goal while keeping a firm grasp at the servicing station describes having sex with the sole of a no-longer-integrated foot. But then a few days later a「stream of sticky fluids discharged while reaming with a bougie」speaks for itself as an attempt to ARREST the progress of a dose of the clap, to CONTINUE DOING UNTIL the flow of pus and gleet subsides, ARRIVING at the goal of restoring health.
Some suggest the「steps of slaves」being seized as an attempt is made to escape, yet if so, the slave would not then be in anyone's grasp, not to mention that the most valuable slaves were physically unable to run. Furthermore, anyone who was still able to physically run could easily be replaced. Fact is that slaves were cheap and plentiful in ancient China, and eating daily in the master's kitchen was often a better life than other alternatives.

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.
