The ancients divided the winter solstice into three stages: "The first stage is when earthworms knot; the second stage is when the elk's horns fall off; the third stage is when the springs begin to flow." Legend has it that earthworms are creatures that bend when they are yin and stretch when they are yang. Although the yang has grown at this time, the yin is still very strong, and the earthworms in the soil are still curled up. The elk and deer are in the same family, but have different yin and yang. The ancients believed that the elk's horns grow backwards, so they are yin, but when yang is born at the winter solstice, the elk feels the yin gradually retreating and sheds their horns. Because the yang is just beginning to grow, the springs in the mountains can flow and be warm.
