[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylily 2013-07-15 ]
A flower that resembles a trumpet shape (「declare loudly, to trumpet」), DAYLILIES are often showy and ornate, grow in large clusters as does an「array of meat but only for a temporary basis」with dazzling colors, the ability to tolerate rough, dry conditions, capability to thrive in many zones, and requiring very little care…descriptive in some ways of how harems of concubine meat and the shaman's gaggles of service providers were treated: typically lasting no more than 24 hours, blooming very young and then fading figuratively speaking, or literally having only a single day in her entire life with the emperor or her owner as her one-shot booty call from the harem eunuchs, often replaced with another flower on the same stem when the shaft re-emerges.
Significantly, yellow-orange stems containing gametes that are bent over and unable to raise upward and that die within a day or so were euphemistic of impotence and LIVER disease, likely originating with hepatitis, commonly transferred during anal sex. Day lilies are called so because the flowers die soon, usually within a day. Liver disease causes the skin to have a yellow-orange tint, and when one's liver ceases to function, death is imminent. In that case,「calm inside female hemp plants」used for what is known today as 'medical marijuana' might become a reasonable option: female hemp plants produce far more of the psychoactive material for which the plant is desired (for some uses) than the male plants.

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.
