Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
DEEP FEELING of COVERED by NETTING in CLOTHES, PALMING LOWER HEAD IN TRANSFORMATION
…or: DEEP FEELING of PLACING INTO a SLEEVE
…or: DEEP FEELING PALM DOWN on NETTING in CLOTHES
[Japanese variant] formerly the right elements were「put something into a sleeve-shaped pocket that you do not want others to see」with elements of「palm down covering, clothing and netting with sticky liquids between legs」(褱)…what was not for others to see in China, and as formerly intended by what is depicted by these elements was your codpiece full of schmutz, and various discharges. A sleeve-like pocket into which one placed his gems, valuables, rocks, precious items of golden balls and treasured meat. In Japan, this「sleeve-like pocket」glyph was used much later in reference to sleeves on kimonos used to hold personal items. Remember though that 'kimono' is a Japanese word and a Japanese garment (not Chinese), that did not begin to have long sleeves for storing small and extremely lightweight items until about 400 years ago, thousands of years after the Chinese glyph was created (heavy items are highly noticeable in long kimono sleeves, achieving the opposite effect from what was desired: to hide or conceal something). Since no one could imagine placing「sticky fluids」into one's sleeves, this glyph morphed from the Chinese version by dropping that internal element, hence became「palming net in clothes」that describes one's COIN PURSE (with only a few coins, for unavoidable expenditures…later used for smokes).
All the Chinese meanings carried over, though, not as that「deeply felt, sticky feeling as you place your palm into your pants pocket」but of NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT, YEARNING, FOND MEMORIES (of a time when disease-free), and later were extended PURSES, POCKET, BOSOM, BUSTS only because traditional Japanese clothing had no other pockets, and due to the old Chinese glyph's explicit description of a spewing, diseased penis, the meaning of the「heart, mind, feelings」glyph (心) soaking in a sackful of gleet. Some modern fonts use「rotation」in place of「palm down」but the meaning is the same, only suggestive of carrying some spares with you and using a clean netting lined with batt, from time to time, as the polite thing to do and to continue the ruse by keeping the smell down to a minimum.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

Japanese EDRDG: pocket, feelings, heart, yearn, miss someone, become attached to, bosom, breast
Unihan extended: bosom, breast; carry in bosom

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.
