Meanings of elements
EQUAL, LEVEL, FITTINGLY and JOLT, FIRED CLAY SLURRY, GIRL, YOUNG FEMALE, MEASURE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT, ROD SEGMENT with emphasis inside RAISED LEG(S) with THRUSTING FORWARD, BIRD TAKING FLIGHT
An earthenware JAR or BUCKET used to「equalize」the weight of the「terra cotta」vessel used when drawing water from a well, requiring「downward thrusting on both sides」and making it easier to haul up water by counter-weighting the lifted load using a large lever (known as a「swape」and from whence is derived the English word「swap」) and counterbalancing the JAR'S weight so that human strength is needed only for moving that portion of the weight related to the water every time water is retrieved, and not the jar, beam, ropes, and other apparatus also.「Two downward thrusts」(left element) also applies the principle that it is easier to pull something down rather than hoisting. It requires much less effort to raise a full bucket of water by adding counterweights on the opposite side of a large lever attached to a high fulcrum above a well and pulling down, compared to simply hoisting a full bucket from deep within a well as would be the case with only a rope and no swape apparatus. The empty bucket may then be easily and safely lowered back into the well by another person pulling down on the well bucket rope—even children, with one on each side, can operate a swape. Drawn water can be poured into troughs and used in an irrigation system. This invention revolutionized irrigation practices and greatly increased agricultural production.
May also depict a female packing both orifices simultaneously with a dual-headed dildo, packing her clay, terra cotta…see 缾. Or two harem members involved in a joint, reciprocal action with a tool that thrusts to both sides evenly. TURTLE and the TURTLE HEAD are Chinese euphemism for the male penis.

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.
