Meanings of elements

…or: ORIFICE IN CENTER with MEAT MOONING and LORD or REPEATED ANAL DISPLAY

Perhaps needless to point out for most readers, but the human female ovulation cycle normally causes hormonal changes that significantly increase her WISHES, HOPES, DESIRES for coitus on or about the 15th day of each cycle as the ovum, female gamete is released from one of the fallopian tubes. In primates, this causes a swelling and reddening of the vulva, with her often in the FULL MOONING lordosis position HOPING to attract a copulation mate, or three.
In Japan and China, recent superstitions perhaps based upon these elements prompt some people to express WISHES, HOPES, DESIRES (while holding your breath and gazing at the full Moon, thinking and repeating your wish three times), as WISHFUL THINKING. Also means FULL MOON, the 15th day of the lunar month. Top-left element as「guarding eyes wide open gaze intently at, but without approaching, an orifice」by a「vassal, trusted servant」with top-right element of「meat, mooning」and bottom element of「repeatedly」「night soil」depicting a DESIRE, WISH, HOPE, wishful GAZING in fantasyland that should not need further explanation…also suggestive of the chronic and incurable desires of a necrophiliac. Modern elements have morphed somewhat and now appear in some modern fonts as「unseen meat」or「unseen mooning」over「repeated ground.」Modern top-left element is「unseen」perhaps to emphasize a DESIRE not yet materialized, or more likely to point out that in spite of all one's DESIRES, WISHING and HOPING, the Moon will never see you or respond to your superstitions…in any case, the FULL MOON is the phase most likely to be seen from Earth, so「unseen」does not seem to apply to the actual Moon, but rather to the「meat, mooning」element and would apply to the「trusted vassal supposed to guard the princess' orifice but not approach it」in spite of all one's DESIRES, WISHING and HOPING (of the guard with the concubine, or, the concubine with the feudal lord).

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.
