But don't worry. After the winter solstice, the influence of the moon diminishes, and that of the sun increases. Five days after the winter solstice, the elks, considered by the Chinese to be "Yin beasts," will shed their horns upon feeling the increase in Yang energy. Five more days later, the frozen spring waters begin to melt.
譯成白話是說，冬至這天冷極了，土裡蚯蚓依偎取暖，竟糾纏地打結了；不過別擔心，冬至過後，陰消陽長，五天後，屬於「陰獸」的糜鹿，就會因為感應到陽氣而脫落了頭上的角；再過五天，冰凍的泉水也開始流動了。
