Refers to the「king's garden of flowers」young virgin girls to be part of a lord's harem「for deflowering」and actually depicts using two hands to gently spread open the vulva during an examination of the hymen to determine, if possible, whether a candidate was still a virgin. For most girls aged six years or so through adolescence, generally an intact hymen will be smooth, delicate, and possibly translucent…if wet with mucus as might be natural, that part will also GLINT, SPARKLE, REFLECT LIGHT RAYS, have a SHEEN or LUSTER. Note that in real life, a broken hymen is not proof of non-virginity, and the converse is also true that an intact hymen is not proof of virginity: some of those membranes are highly elastic, as disreputable shamans soon discovered who resold deflowering of the same female on multiple occasions.

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.
