「Surrounding deliberately…and edible」after a battle:「We know that human sacrifice and cannibalism were widely practiced in pre-literate societies and that they were not local but universal cultural phenomena. …[T]he ancient Chinese also participated in this culture, which has much in common with the [Journal of Generative Anthropology] position about the violent origin and early development of human civilization…」

「Human cannibals likely took a big bite out of their fellow humans about 10,000 years ago, according to a study that examined prehistoric bones with scratch and bite marks on them. …In the end, they discovered 30 bones belonging to three individuals: a robust adult, a gracile adult and an infant. However, the infant had only one complete bone (a shoulder blade, or scapula) that did not show signs of cannibalism, the researchers said. …But the practice goes way back: there's even evidence of Neanderthal cannibalism in Belgium and Spain from more than 40,000 years ago, when they went extinct, Live Science previously reported.」

「Surrounding from above, deliberately out-of-reach, at home watching prepubescent female with goal of copulation」or「under roof with very young girls eyeing copulation」is TOLERANT, LENIENT, LOOSE and AT EASE, BROAD-MINDED, and RELAXED, laissez-faire unbridled with no restrictions, LIBERAL thinking. Glyph might be suggesting not to get one's daughters started in sex while still too young if you want to maintain the status quo, or alternatively, you've got to start young if you want to stick out from the crowd.
Dictionaries say the source in Chinese is not「roof over edible plants」(those「plants looked for」) but instead,「roof」over「goat」as horns that always need「watching.」If you can believe that, then normally a goat would not be given the luxury of living under a roof, so this person must have been TOLERANT to provide such an unusual environment for a lowly goat. In that case, RELAXING and LEISURELY may be due to the apparent tendency to run about tupping ewes, and with the feeling that perhaps the goat will suffice in a pinch, and perhaps was the true reason for allowing a goat into the home in the first place…in that case, TOLERANT might refer to the goat as well as the human householder.
Oldest Chinese version (寬) has a marker stroke by「copulating」emphasizing that portion as the intended meaning, and traditional fonts use「out-of-reach with prepubescent female as goal of copulation.」
Goats also dispose of most table scraps, and help keep the grass trimmed and fertilized around your pit hole. Also note that a KID is the term used to refer to a young goat in English, but also is a modern term referring to a prepubescent child (initially, only to street urchins, child thieves, and child prostitutes), that was first documented in 1590. In the early 1500s, Portuguese and Dutch sailors first ventured into China where of course young girls had been used as living sex meat and as prostituted toys for thousands of years. Also popular in England and Australia is calling one's child a「lamb.」…and uses of ewe's meat went beyond simply killing and eating her flesh, being a「praiseworthy」「morally upright」experience of ovine zooerastia at its finest, they say. It is not a stretch of the imagination that the Dutch and Portuguese spread the word to English sailors over these eighty or so years with whom they sailed on the same ships, concerning Chinese practices with little girls, lambs, kid goats, and newborn calves:「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter [read: schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice) kids, lambs, and children]. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

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.
