Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SMALL YOUTH and COPULATING ALONE
…or: SMALL STREAM EMITTED and LOFTY, STUPID
…or: MONS PUBIS with ARRAY, ROD of COPULATION
…or: ROD UP with EMISSIONS SPURTING and ERECT with PENIS
Top strokes of「small stream emitted, youth」(at times written as the inverted element 小), or simply「rod emissions upward」with the lower element of「lofty, high overhead」or「array, segment, one, rod of self-copulation」or「one's bald head」or「in a stupor」as BEAMING due to the associated dopamine release after orgasm. Japanese meanings add TO POLISH, the sparkle in one's eyes and on one's bald head from reflected light rays after knob-polishing, perhaps. Also referring to thin beams as LIGHT RAYS, meaning a short, small burst or FLASH OF LIGHT, the shape of radiating flecks being emitted in all directions, FLASHING.
Note that in the past, the elements of this glyph's substitutes were「twenty or so, bastards flaming」(炗) and「flaming copulation」(灮) to depict TWINKLING, FLASHES OF LIGHT, among other concepts, a euphemism for sexual activity.「Flaming」(火) itself uses elements of「erection in pursuit of service provider」or「emissions upward from male person, taut and erect.」
「Small sticky streams emitted from array of copulating」or「rod emissions copulating alone」describes our early, bonobo-like, cannibal ancestors from the caves, and not just in China…and not only our earlier ancestors, for that matter.

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.
