The first meat markets as marketplaces were brothels peddling all sorts of copulating activities. Note that deep in the woods, fields, or hills of a rural countryside would not have been the wisest choice of location for setting up this sort of shop or a wide, spacious MARKETPLACE…inside a city might bring in more foot traffic (pun there, sorry), which leaves the interpretation of these elements as:「cavern, big house of wetlands, plugging orifices」with「opium clods, anal copulation grounds」and so on. The FINE RESIDENCE reference is to the palatial edifices constructed with the huge profits being made by the shamans, used to house their girls and boys with many small rooms in which to entertain clients in the shamanist shrines, temples, inns…similar to upper-class hotel chains today. Later using large rooms as opium dens with the prostitutes for greater pleasure, profit, and pain. Raw opium is black or brown and sticky as is ink or shit, but for distribution often pressed and dried into hardened lumps or clods, resembling compacted turds (see 里, 圭) with copulation inserted (坴).

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.
