Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
ILLNESS, DISEASE, PHYSICAL AILMENT of SELF-CONTROL
Illness of the motions associated with a person dangling from a noose, kicking about and trying to escape, illness of compulsive thoughts about service providers or palming oneself…or the「illness of truth.」Epileptic seizures also tend to slow down and then cease as does a hanged person (assuming the hanged person's neck has not been snapped by the jolting fall). Seizures and madness normally do not stop suddenly. Historically, epilepsy was perceived as an attack by demons, lunacy, madness, going crazy, feeble-mindedness, and so on, or a message of truth from the gods:「In the past, epilepsy was associated with religious experiences and even demonic possession. In ancient times, epilepsy was known as the 'Sacred Disease' (as described in a 5th-century BC treatise by Hippocrates) because people thought that epileptic seizures were a form of attack by demons, or that the visions experienced by persons with epilepsy were sent by the gods. Among animist Hmong families, for example, epilepsy was understood as an attack by an evil spirit, but the affected person could become revered as a shaman through these otherworldly experiences. The Greek physician Galen wrote that 'the moon governs the periods of epileptic diseases' and hence the epilepsies were, by the Greeks and Latins, called lunatics. In most cultures, persons with epilepsy have been stigmatized, shunned, or even imprisoned. In the Salpêtrière, the birthplace of modern neurology, Jean-Martin Charcot found people with epilepsy side-by-side with the mentally handicapped, those with chronic syphilis, and the criminally insane.」

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.
