Meanings of elements

BAMBOO and PASSING THROUGH PATH BETWEEN WALLS, REMAINING ONLY A SHORT WHILE, STIFF CONTAINER, BUCKET

A fishhook remains in both the bait and the caught fish, if any, only a short while, but it is difficult to conceive of a pole as a hook for literal fish, other than a gaff. Bamboo does make good fishing poles, and water or other fluids remain in tubing and pipes only a short time, normally, while passing between walls all around.
　Or: perhaps the HOOK aspect describes the purpose as a pipe used for hooking clogs and removing them: long, thin, hollow pieces of bamboo used for extractions as a set of pipes. A series of thin hollow tubes, used consecutively in medical treatments for successively enlarging the urethra while enabling pent-up fluids to discharge through the hollow core center as a conduit:「Infection of the urethra…for example: Sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea or chlamydia. …What is the treatment for urethral stricture?…Dilatation (widening) of the stricture: This is usually done by passing a thin plastic rod (bougie) into the urethra. This procedure may be done either under a local or a general anaesthetic. Rods of increasing thickness are gently inserted to gradually widen (dilate) the narrowed stricture. The aim is to stretch and widen the stricture without causing additional scarring. However, a stricture often tends gradually to narrow again after each dilation. Therefore, a repeat dilation is commonly needed every so often when symptoms recur.」

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)

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.
