Winter solstice in the twenty-four solar terms
will come to you and me

Winter solstice has three meanings
1 is the end of the cathode, when the yin energy is at its peak
2 is the beginning of the yang energy, when the yang energy is in its peak
3 is the sun travel south, when the sunlight is at its peak, when the sunlight is at its peak,
There are three times of winter solstice
1 times of earthworms forming
1 in the frozen soil
earthworms shrink into a ball
stick to this difficult winter
waiting for spring flowers to bloom
2 The old horns of the elk begin to fall off
New horns grow slowly
The rules of metabolism
Hidden in the change of seasons
Three-time water spring movement
No matter how thick the ice
Under the river that looks quiet
There are always thousands of lively melodies
