Meanings of elements

FLUID and MYSTERIOUS, SPURTING with PROFOUND, DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT, DARKENED, VERY LOOSE AND DRIPPING
…or: FLUIDS with SPURTING SHAFTS and much SCREAMING, HOLLERING, WHAT?!!

「Liquid, fluid, flowing that is profound, right here now, plenty loose and dripping with spurts.」…Here and now as a means of definitely getting everyone's attention from the stench, as anyone who has ever visited a swine or chicken ranch can attest.「Profound and mysterious liquid flow」of NOURISHMENT into MORE AND MORE LUXURIANT GROWTH, likely water mixed with the feces of some animal such as that of human beings, a TURBID mixture with sediment and JUICY fecal particles stirred and suspended in it like mud, formerly known as fertilizer, farm slurry, liquid manure, a「flow of liquid」while「spurting」「loosely dripping」by spreading the goopy slop here and there, flinging it from a bucket in long strings…RAMPANT means 'spreading everywhere, unchecked, unrestrained' and refers to both the areas covered and the spreading stench. Note that too much in one place causes plant life to die rather than become nourished.
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."

SUSCITE refers to being aroused, stirred up, in a raised position, being provoked into action. Describes what was RAMPANT in the old days in China as「fluids and spurting with fecal slurry」someone who flung dung (and that is not a poet's or an emperor's name by the way, despite suggestions to the contrary).

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.
