…or: WILD DOG JISM FILLING ORIFICES

Working like dog penis loose and dripping on both sides to fill many orifices may be describing the essence of daily life of the noble class of aristocrats who lived in the NEARBY AREA SURROUNDING THE IMPERIAL PALACE, or the serfs working the muck fields.「Hollering and screaming with a wild dog's erection in motion that is difficult to see in between two loose and dripping most tender places forming a figure-eight shape」with「filled wet orifices, rice field」is suggestive of the various lifestyle activities of grunt-level serfs necessarily surrounding the entire region of the imperial capital to provide food, clothing, and perhaps wet orifices for plugging to the non-working class as the basic ingredients for supporting life.「How many」「difficult to see dogs working in filled wet orifices, rice fields」indicates perhaps counting wet orifices and fields to learn how many nobles might live there without quarrelling over resources.
　However, in real life, the NEARBY AREA SURROUNDING THE IMPERIAL PALACE was not used for growing rice at all, since those paddies stank of fecal slurry, among other problems. In fact, the NEARBY AREA SURROUNDING THE IMPERIAL PALACE and all other CASTLES INHABITED BY ROYALS AND ARISTOCRATS was filled with entertainment establishments, chiefly brothels and pleasure parlors of various squalid sorts.
　Same elements might describe an AREA SURROUNDING A HEAD after ejaculation while engaged in mammary or anal intercourse, with that 'head' reference changing as appropriate under/in those various circumstances. All the above explanations are similar to the English,「work like a dog.」
　Scholars suggest this glyph depicts working a loom situated within a rice paddy, with motions back and forth like a dog's tail wagging…but the mosquitoes might be a bother, not to mention a host of other logistical problems resulting from placing a loom amidst a rice paddy.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: territory around the capital
Unihan extended: imperial domain; area near capital
EDRDG: capital; suburbs of capital

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
