Meanings of elements

TERRACED SOIL SLOPE PUSHED UP FROM BENEATH
…or: NAKED BUTTOCKS and DAWDLING MUSHROOM, COPROPHILOUS FUNGI with SPREAD FEET, HEAD IN CROTCH

「Slope dawdling」or「slope pushed up from beneath」generally used in reference to the TOMB OF A KING or an emperor, as if the greatness of the corpse is raising the hills so that people dawdle and gawk. Also means LOW HILLS or DOWNS, BURIAL MOUNDS and graves of ancient nobles, a reference to the shape of「buttocks cheeks」while in a position for「anal copulation」by「lying prostrate with spread feet and crotch」but with the ends of the legs (that is, the feet) positioned above or over the head, beside the ears. Top-right element certainly appears to be a「mushroom」so this is a cool dark place where fungi grow, and bottom-right being「head in crotch, inverted feet」as if someone may be buried in the fetal position. Note that hills are literally「pushed up from beneath」due to geological forces, in most cases, rather than corpses.「Naked buttocks hole with head in crotch staring at mushroom stalk」for the remainder of eternity as the GRAVE OF A ROYAL PERSON. Perhaps the whole thing offers a clue as to what killed 'em, too:「dawdling while schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice) night clay of a human backside.」In that sense, perhaps what killed the king was a disease contracted while copulating anally with sheep or humans.

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.
