	Yue Ling:	In this month the shortest day arrives. The principle of darkness and decay (in nature) struggles with that of brightness and growth. The elements of life begin to move. Superior men give themselves to self-adjustment and fasting. They keep retired in their houses. They wish to be at rest in their persons; put away all indulgence in music and beautiful sights; repress their various desires; give repose to their bodies and all mental excitements. They wish all affairs to be quiet, while they wait for the settlement of those principles of darkness and decay, and brightness and growth. Rice begins to grow. The broom-sedge rises up vigorously. Worms curl. The moose-deer shed their horns. The springs of water are (all) in movement. When the shortest day has arrived, they fell trees, and carry away bamboos, (especially) the small species suitable for arrows.

時則訓:

仲冬之月，招搖指子，昏壁中，旦軫中，其位北方，其日壬癸，其蟲介，其音羽，律中黃鍾，其數六，其味堿，其臭腐，其祀井，祭先腎。冰益壯，地始坼，鳱鴠不鳴，虎始交。天子衣黑衣，乘鐵驪，服玄玉，建玄旗，食黍與彘，服八風水，爨松燧火。北宮御女黑色，衣黑采，擊磬石。其兵鎩，其畜彘，朝于玄堂太廟。命有司曰：土事無作，無發室居，及起大眾。是謂發天地之藏，諸蟄則死，民必疾疫，有隨以喪。急捕盜賊，誅淫泆詐偽之人，命曰畼月。命奄尹，申宮令，審門閭，謹房室，必重閉，省婦事。乃命大酋，秫稻必齊，麴蘖必時，湛㵙必潔，水泉必香，陶器必良，火齊必得，無有差忒。天子乃命有司，祀四海大川名澤。是月也，農有不收藏積聚、牛馬畜獸有放失者，取之不詰。山林藪澤，有能取疏食、田獵禽獸者，野虞教導之。其有相侵奪，罪之不赦。是月也，日短至，陰陽爭，君子齋戒，處必掩，身欲靜，去聲色，禁嗜欲，甯身體，安形性。是月也，荔挺出，芸始生，丘蚓結，麋角解，水泉動則伐樹木，取竹箭，罷官之無事、器之無用者，塗闕庭門閭，築囹圄，所以助天地之閉。仲冬行夏令，則其國乃旱，氛霧冥冥，雷乃發聲。行秋令，則其時雨水，瓜瓠不成，國有大兵。行春令，則蟲螟為敗，水泉鹹竭，民多疾癘。十一月官都尉，其樹棗。
