2、 Three seasons of winter solstice: first, earthworm knot; second, MI Jiao Jie; third, water spring move. At one time, it was said that earthworms were creatures with Yin, Qu and Yang stretching. Although Yang Qi had grown, Yin Qi was still very strong. The earthworms in the soil were still curling up in the winter solstice, which indicated that the winter solstice was relatively cold. The second period is that the ancients thought that Mi's horn was born after the dynasty, so it was Yin. On the winter solstice, MI felt that the Yin and Qi were fading away and the horn was released. Sanhou means that the spring water in the mountain can flow and be warm at this time because of the birth of Yang Qi in the winter solstice.
