Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
PERSON with ORIFICE and in FLAT AREA, ARENA, MARKET, PORT, WHARF
…or: PERSON with FECES still SUCKLING MAMMARY TEATS
…or: PERSON with FECES after CHEWING MEAT, DINING IN THE EVENING
…or: LAY, RELAX AWHILE, RUSTIC OUTHOUSE, SHED and START USE OF JUST NOW AT THIS MOMENT, TEMPORARY ACTION JUST BARELY ABLE, TWISTING MEAT WITH EMPHASIS
…or: SPECIALTY SHOP and BEGIN USING
「Person with orifice in the marketplace」may need to SPREAD and LAY DOWN in order to entice buyers or clients, or, someone who needs to suddenly take a dump, the need to defecate and utilize the public restroom outhouse…also defined as a place to STORE stuff, or because a small fee was needed to gain entry as it is today in Europe, generally.
Left element is「small specialty hut, rest area, a room for resting」and uses the elements「person with fecal orifice, getting lucky」as OUTHOUSE, PRIVY, a RESTROOM, INFANT CARE AND DIAPER CHANGING STATION. Right element:「temporary use, begin to use, one's father」as「spreading legs in mooning position」together meaning temporary use of one's fecal orifice to LAY DOWN some turds, or something being LAID DOWN, or even GETTING LAID IN THIS SPECIALTY REST SHOP. Actually, one's father temporarily using a child's fecal orifice rather than a full-scale deflowering became somewhat common in China after the lords began purchasing young females as sex slaves, and a higher price was paid for virgins…see「female cicada」蝉 for the details.
Scholars explain this as something LAID in front of a small「specialty shop, rest stop」as a reference to PAVING the way by spreading stuff and「preparing the entrance」but again see「female cicada」蝉 for the details of the way paved…in any case, it appears that something is being laid and spread on, or in, or consisting of some sort of soil after the evening meal, hence LAYING NIGHT SOIL in a「small specialty hut」an outhouse.

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.
