METALLIC ROCKS
…or: METAL with ROCK, STONE

「Metal with stones」as BRASS settings for jewelry with stones surrounded by the metal alloy. It is likely that the invention of copper alloys were the first metals used to bore straight and smooth holes in rock using a bow-drill and core drilling techniques, although wood or bamboo tubes with sand also were effective prior to copper alloys…the harder metal may have made the task significantly easier. Other sources explain that brass concave dishes and parabolic mirrors could focus and reflect the Sun's rays in the same manner as a magnifying glass or satellite dish, and direct the beam to heat rock along thin lines where it could then be split by cooling rapidly with water. May relate to the English expression,「brass balls.」

Japanese EDRDG: brass

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.
