Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SURROUNDING and ROD WHILE HORIZONTAL within A COMMUNE and with COOLING PROCESS, LOWER TEMPERATURE, CONGEAL, CHANGE BETWEEN TWO PHYSICAL STATES, DRIP BY DRIP, ONE DROP AFTER ANOTHER, TO FREEZE UP, CEASE MOTION
…or: DELIBERATELY SURROUNDING multiple PRICKS with EMISSIONS SPLASHING DOWNWARD and with COOLING PROCESS, CONGEALING, CHANGE BETWEEN PHYSICAL STATES, DRIP BY DRIP, ONE DROP AFTER ANOTHER, FREEZE UP CEASE MOTION
Elements describe「surrounding multiple pricks with emissions in cooling process」as FEELING COLD. Or, a commune full of gonorrhea infection, among other scenarios.「At home deliberately with multiple pricks juxtaposed side by side, emissions cooling」: one's initial experiences with sex, other than when alone perhaps, are often accompanied by some shuddering. Humans of both sexes experiencing sex with another human for the first few times often tremble uncontrollably but not from cold. Furthermore, anyone「covered from above with many cooling emissions from two pricks side by side」such as a service provider on her back with clients accessing her two no-longer-integrated feet, will soon feel COLD due to the wet stuff evaporating from her legs and torso in a natural cooling process. This glyph refers to how a human body feels when cold, but not to items that are cold (a different glyph is used for that meaning: ).
 Yet, disregarding all that, some insist this depicts an ancient icehouse:「surround from above, deliberately out-of-reach」with「roofed framework base and frozen」with the frame formed of bamboo or hemp stalks and a thick layer of leaves and clay for insulation against the summer heat to maintain the COLD temperature inside…in the U.S., sawdust was often used as insulation for exactly this reason in icehouses of the 19th century. An icehouse to keep ice blocks cut from the surface of frozen freshwater ponds in mid-winter and then stored inside this small building in order to last throughout the summer, if possible, and allow the preparation of mint juleps for the nobility in August while enjoying the sport of kings and other activities.
 「Many pricks inside out-of-reach and congealed, freeze」describes the initial symptoms of FROSTBITE or FROSTNIP that results in a prickly, itchy feeling on the affected skin.
 Note the similarity of「deliberate with pricks on each side and two」with the glyph meaning 'cool, cold, testicles' that are maintained at a temperature a few degrees cooler than the core body in order to enable sperm production within the two testes of the scrotum as a body part FEELING COLD.

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.
