"一时鹿角解": Although elk and deer belong to the same family, the ancients believed that one belongs to yin and the other to yang. The deer's antlers point forward, so it belongs to Yang.

At the beginning of the summer solstice, Yin is born, and Yin-loving creatures begin to appear, and Yang-loving creatures begin to decline, so the positive antlers begin to fall off. Since the zodiac animal belongs to the female gender, its horns do not fall off until the winter solstice.

" The second-term cicada begins to sing ": It means that the male cicada begins to sing happily after the summer solstice due to the feeling of yin energy.
