[Elements vary by font and positioning]「Flow of commoners, peasants」also written as「flow from crotch」(related glyph 汉) or literally,「flow of twenty or so from vulva with adult male」or again, as「emerging shafts with vulva and adult male」describes our early, bonobo-like ancestors from the caves, not just in China, but everywhere (see related glyphs). With an average life expectancy of only 30-35 years and birthing once per year beginning at puberty, the average female bore about twenty or so bastards during her life, with「bastards」being the appropriate term since no one could ever be called monogamous in those days, and paternity was unknowable. Copulation with the females being the role of the alpha「adult males」only, as it is with most other primates and large mammals…and small mammalian species, too, until a male becomes sufficiently large and strong to beat his way into the pecking order for peckers. Human females on the contrary, like bonobos, were copulating with adult males from an early age likely long prior to puberty (five?) as soon as they could spread their legs, and after giving birth each year as soon as they could again spread their legs. Note that transforming approximately half of the female population into meat intended solely to be used for copulation by dis-integrating and binding their feet will tend to increase the population unchecked, causing it to spread and smother all surroundings.
　「Flow stifling, flow of yellow clay and soil, flow like violets」that is CHINA (top element is either「twenty」or「plants, emerging shafts」and varies by font).「Stifling, suffocating, unrelenting propagation and growth」due to the way violets take over a garden uncontrollably with their root systems, and, the manner that clay finds its way into every possible space. Violets are considered as weeds in most locales and will grow to cover the entire nearby ground if unchecked, stifling whatever else may be growing beside in an ever-widening concentric circle radiating from the center. The glyph「center」being an abbreviated form to express the meaning「China」as a country. This methodology of dominating one's nearest surrounding neighbors and then assimilating their land into what is today referred to as China is well-known by historians as the manner in which China conquered its neighbors and grew in influence.
　Note that Chinese sources count 14 glyph strokes, but Japanese only 13 strokes since the topmost-right element merged. Some browsers will not display this glyph using certain fonts…the actual glyph may possibly be seen within other glyphs as an element.
