Meanings of elements

EMISSIONS with PLANTED INTO SOIL
…or: TREE, STALK, WOODY and TRUE, PURE, QUINTESSENTIAL, SELF-CONTROL, PALMING ONESELF

The「head」part of a tree, or a piece that has broken off or been cut from a tree.「Tree of truth」or「plants for twisting fleshpot ingredients」or「the truth about woodies」that dictionaries and scholars claim mean the tops of a tree branches lopped off (「decapitation」) and then used as decorations, but not placed inside the fleshpot as ingredients. The same dictionaries claim that this glyph represents a certain variety of pine tree, the JUNIPER, a plant with strong-tasting, flavorful berries that will effectively MASK THE FOUL TASTE of other foods when added to the brew, such as that of slightly spoiled meat…and the crushed berries can effectively MASK A FOUL ODOR. Note that the British upper class distillery proprietors used juniper berries formerly as an ingredient to the distilled spirit called「gin」to cover the foul taste of the cheaper, blue colored distillate that was sold to the lower classes. The sapphire blue color was due to containing a large amount of toxic aldehydes, or to express it another way, a slow death. Mint jelly spread on mutton or lamb is another attempt to mask flavor in the same vein as making gin, with mint and juniper berries both「plants that kill the taste.」
「Truth with woody」is that a breath mint or two afterwards might kill the taste or an acquired foul breath odor, and in the old days that meant munching on juniper berries, perhaps.

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.
