「Bamboo」woven into the shape of a sieve,「carefully selecting」among「foreskin, prepuce」a certain object size or larger from a mix of material by passing smaller material through the weave holes. Old replacement glyph (㠱) also refers to a bamboo sieve-like container or basket that could hold as its contents the pieces of a「decrepit penis of mine」afflicted with syphilis and losing chunks here and there, but still provide sufficient air flow to promote healing, however unpleasant and stinky that may have been (厶). A GARBAGE BAG, a place for flinging chunks of rotting meat from an infected scrotal region. WINNOW means to separate by means of a current of air, rid of undesirable parts, blow away garbage, to examine closely in order to separate the good from the bad [ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/winnow ]
Needless to point out perhaps is that someone with a bamboo basket fastened over his groin would more likely than not be SITTING CROSS-LEGGED. A「dust basket」or「dust bin」is a euphemism for a garbage pail, trash can, place for flinging useless scraps of meat, a container for household rubbish.

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.

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?

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,

This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
