Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
RESTRICTED USE with PLUGGED FILLED ORIFICE OR CAVITY, WET AREA FOR IMPLANTING, WETLANDS, RICE PADDY, MUCK POOL, SLURRY PIT, PUBLIC USE, MANY ORIFICES

A HOD was used to carry scooped muck and fecal slurry from one place to another, often from a lower terrace on a slope back up to an upper terraced paddy after heavy rains caused some degree of erosion into the lower fields. The shape of the hod allowed water to drain easily and lighten the load a bit. As crass as it seems, these elements as an「uncircumcised woody within internal walls lined with soil」would appear to have a similar shape and resulting function as the area under the hood, the prepuce filled with fecal slurry.
From time immemorial before the beginning, humans have collected feces and used it as fertilizer. Still today, researchers are working on finding solutions for problems facing humanity. It is not only feces that are an excellent fertilizer. Urine works, too! "Innovative system turns human waste into sustainable fertilizer: Stanford researchers have developed a prototype that harnesses urine to generate valuable fertilizer, offering solutions for sanitation and energy in resource-limited regions."

Bamboo strips were cut when green and pliable and woven into baskets. One of these uses was as a protective supporter, exactly as a codpiece was used in Europe and an athletic supporter with cup is used by male contact sport athletes today. The basket not only provided some protection against painful and unwanted contact of sensitive infected areas, but enabled a poultice filled with mashed grains and herbal treatments to maintain constant contact with the infected areas, provide deodorant functions, and hold absorbent batting.

Chinese: basket for removing earth; spade
Japanese EDRDG: hod
Unihan extended: a hod, a basket in which to carry earth

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.
