Meanings of elements

KING with EYE ON COPULATION, GOAL OF COPULATING
…or: KING, THE CROWN, RULERSHIP with TO APPEAR, TO SEE, TO INTERVIEW, LOOKING, SEEING, SHOWING, VIEWING, TO EXAMINE

To ACTUALLY「see the king」APPEAR before your very own eyes proves the EXISTENCE, the REALITY of someone (or something) perhaps only heard spoken about in the past. Within the palace, the king APPEARS and becomes PRESENT, MANIFESTED for others to see when he has the「goal of copulation」and has ordered a bevy of concubines.「King with goal of copulation」is the ACTUAL REALITY he MANIFESTS generally, and not much more than that, the goal which is in his CONSCIOUSNESS PRESENTLY at most any given moment (you must know that the sages were laughing their collective asses off).
　「Array of tribute of flesh seams with goal of emissions, copulation」as the goods from subjugated fiefs finally accepted as delivered, the ACTUAL REALITY being PRESENT, MANIFESTED.

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.
