「Flies vomit their stomach contents on solid food. Digestive juices from the stomach start breaking the solid food into small pieces. Mixed with the stomach juices and other stuff in its stomach, the fly can now use its proboscis to drink the liquid.」
[ https://scienceprojectideasforkids.com/flies-proboscis/ 2013-07-20, emphasis ours ] be aware that those stomach juices contain other stuff, a slew of bacteria harmful to humans, and fly vomitus cannot be seen with the naked human eye.
The sages had little, if any, regard for the level of intelligence needed to be a part of hereditary dynastic succession, and these elements may well also have been understood as「imbeciles mooning」or「mooning the imbeciles.」Imagine a whole group of people in「rotation」while「speaking praises」and「bowing down on all fours, mooning」while FACING the emperor in a COURT ASSEMBLY, that「imbecile with meat.」…or, the「meat of imbeciles」kowtowing in lordosis.
Refers today to communist NORTH KOREA as a land of「hereditary dynastic succession」perhaps as the land directly FACING TOWARD China and not as「meaty imbeciles」(…right?).
Per scholars, right element presumably was a variant of a boat on a river beside the Sun rising through plants or reeds, with the concept of dynasty or imperial court being associated with the source of brightness and rising Sun, as well as the imperial chief dude riding around in a boat rising up to heaven, somehow or other. It may also have been the case that the IMPERIAL class of humans, with all their arrogance, demanded fresh meat even in the morning, meat that the flies had not yet vomited upon before the age of tightly sealed plastic containers and refrigeration (by the way, who put the 'tup' in Tupperware®? ewe did).

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.
