Meanings of elements

METALLIC, PERSON THRUSTING DOWNWARD and MEASURED DISTANCE BETWEEN THUMB AND MIDDLE FINGERTIP

Given meanings present somewhat confusing images to some Westerners because large bells in Asia do not use internal clappers normally (as are common in the West), but instead are struck from the outside with a beam suspended horizontally by two chains fastened to each end that is swung and rammed forward against the side of the bell to create sound, the loud BONG, DONG. A「person thrusting downward」on a third rope or chain hanging down from that horizontally-hung wooden beam will eventually cause some noise by swinging the beam against the bell. Right element depicts a rope or chain attached front and rear surrounding the woody and scrotum with testicles of captured slaves/prisoners to prevent escape.

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.
