Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
INVERTED PENIS, ROD DOWN
…or: ARRAY of SCREWING
Indicates a DOWNWARD THRUSTING MOTION, generally into some orifice or to create one as when digging into soil searching for minerals such as gold (see as an example that contains this element). Downward thrusting with a weapon is associated with a DEFENSIVE motion to deflect an incoming thrust from an opponent, although it can be argued that a side or upward parry may be just as effective in that case. Glyph is actually that for「penis」but written inverted, merging the elements「downward screwing」or「array of screwing.」Also meaning DRY, fully DRAINED, to EBB (as in become dry, 'pull back fluids'). And finally, the MAIN PART, the piece in the middle.
 Old form of () uses elements of an 'imbecile begging for it' that also applies, in various ways, to someone thrusting his penis downward.
 As for TREE TRUNK, the main wood shaft, see and as the piece in the middle.

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.
