Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
EMERGING SHAFTS with APPROACH CLOSELY, PROMPT TO DO
…or: EMERGING SHAFTS with emphasis on TONGUING MOUTH of SERVICE PROVIDER and BENT OVER
…or: EMERGING SHAFTS, STALKS, STEMS and ON DEMAND, AGREE WITH AND CONFORM TO CIRCUMSTANCES, ACCEDE AT ONCE
[Elements vary by font]「emerging shafts on demand, agree and conform to, accede at once」as a CARNIVAL, HOLIDAY, FESTIVE OCCASION, as would be「emerging shafts with mouth-tonguing service provider bowing over, bent over fully」: to party, a display of raised meat.
HONOR and MORAL INTEGRITY perhaps referred more to service providers performing their vocation (even though enslaved) and not to their clients, generally. MORAL INTEGRITY literally refers to the sound judgement of knowing what is right and what is wrong, something gleaned by experience after a series of approaches to a display of raised meat (「carnival」) from「emerging shafts with the tonguing mouth of a service provider who is bent over」for a CLOSER EXAMINATION prior to the engagement.
See replacement glyph 節: inside bamboo「plants, emerging shafts」and other grasses that are naturally hollow structures are sections that are sealed by NODES, or JOINTS, each approximately the same size and length of other adjacent sections. Any plant with branches or leaves also has growth NODES at each junction point along the stem or a branch. Therefore, the node serves to make each section「agree with and conform to」the others. Other extended meanings are to things conforming (such as, to the same length), or being CONTROLLED AND MODERATED: seasons (each the same length of three months), rope knots used to measure a ship's speed, verses in a poem or song, (roughly) paragraphs or bullet points in text, and so on. Another interpretation from Chinese is「bamboo that causes immediate conforming and agreement」due to the threat or actual whacking of someone's KNUCKLES, NODES, or JOINTS with a SECTION OF BAMBOO.

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.
