Meanings of elements
MAT, COARSE BAMBOO SHAFTS and RODS RAISED BOTH SIDES with EMISSIONS
…or: BAMBOO and CAREFULLY SELECTED, THAT IS MINE, SUPPORT FROM BENEATH
「Coarse shafts seen sitting on mats with rods raised on both sides and some sort of emissions」as SITTING CROSS-LEGGED, perhaps while sifting through what had been collected in one's poultice, SIEVING the GARBAGE BAG.
「Bamboo」woven into the shape of a sieve,「carefully selecting」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.
Not a sitting position assumed by most females most of the time…sitting with crossed legs that would necessarily display fully one's groin. Bamboo strips were cut when green and pliable and woven into baskets. One of these uses was as a protective supporter, exactly as a codpiece was used in Europe and an athletic supporter with cup is used by male contact sport athletes today. The basket not only provided some protection against painful and unwanted contact of sensitive infected areas, but enabled a poultice filled with mashed grains and herbal treatments to maintain constant contact with the infected areas, provide deodorant functions, and hold absorbent batting. Wearing this device hampered movement and caused folks to SIT CROSS-LEGGED.

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.
