Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ROD TAUT and ERECT
…or: HAND TAUT
…or: HAND with marker for other hand, too
…or: ROD of MALE ADULT
Elements individually as「rod taut and erect」undeniably represent the BIG physical condition, one that cannot naturally become any bigger, in fact. See as「streaming emissions」that refers to the subsequent smaller size: prior to discharging a stream of emissions, the condition remains in the relatively BIG size (turgid) and will generally remain so until the emissions are discharged (flaccid).
 Requiring TWO-HANDED control, or BOTH HANDS outstretched wide to appear BIG. People often indicate size by using both hands, BIG in this case, or the opposite 'small' with hands positioned very close together. BOTH HANDS that are WIDE apart indicate BIG. A「hand, taut, stretched」is full, likely while grasping something BIG, GRAND.
 Although in some modern fonts these elements appear as and are explained as a「widened person」the source elements were「hand taut」while grasping something, or「hand with the other side, too」as BOTH HANDS widely spread, clearly seen in traditional fonts and when used within more complex glyphs. Nonetheless, a「rod within a person」was a GREAT business, represented MANY clients, and could only occur whilst in the「rod taut and erect」BIG physical condition.

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.
