Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
IN FRONT OF PERSON is PERSON KNEELING AND BOWING
…or: IN FRONT OF A PERSON and VERTICAL UP AND DOWN and ON ALL FOURS
…or: PERSON with ROD and SEGMENT in BENT OVER PERSON
…or: PERSON with ROD and SEGMENT in TENSE NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT
[Elements vary by font]「In front of a person」or「person with rod」on top, perhaps talking to someone who is「kneeling and bowing, kowtowing on the ground in the lordosis position」or「highly tense for a long time in motion up and down vertically, rod in no-longer-integrated foot.」Perhaps an ORDER, COMMAND to assume the lordosis position or some other desired position, issued to a slave, concubine, or some other type of service provider during a short-term rental, by an owner, lord, emperor, priestess, pope, client, or some other human authority figure.「Presently, now」with「drip」or indicating some other sort of emphasis point, combine to suggest CAUSE SOMETHING TO OCCUR, and may well have been used in a complimentary manner as an honorific for a clever and skilled person who was ordered to assume a kneeling position, and so on. Note that royals the world over get off on ordering others to bow, kneel and scrape before them, believing in their own divine right of kings and queens to issue such orders as if some sort of homage and reverence is innately deserved due to a birthright, or some other self-deception.
Some browsers will not display this glyph using certain fonts…the actual glyph may possibly be seen within other glyphs as an element.

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.
