In China, the wealthiest class representing money, coin all maintained harems of human meat gleaned from their serfs as their chattel on the hoof, a select and limited group, a private sex circle of flowers accessed TAKING TURNS in rotation of a harem garden. Both a counter and a classifier for FLOWERS, the euphemism for concubines and harem members, as in the English word「deflower」to describe the initial sexual experience of a virgin. Concept of a ROTATION in a properly aligned REVOLVING sequence refers to the elements as「screwing, plugging wet orifice, screwing again」with「person and arrayed official registry of the lord's concubines」that required administration by the eunuchs in order to keep everything fair among the harem members TO TAKE TURNS engaging in RECURRING EVENTS with the lord or owner, and is the source of the meaning COUNTER FOR FLOWERS, and COUNTER FOR WHEELS, FULL TURNS, CYCLES. Suggests the full harem in a daisy chain circle as well to mean LINK, LINKED, enabling a sure and full count of members by the bean counters who were keeping the journal records.

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.
