At the end of the year, the month called "twelfth lunar month" has three meanings: first, it indicates the alternation of the old and the new (as recorded in the Book of Rites of Sui Shu); The second is "wax hunters hunt together", which means that hunting in the wild can make animals sacrifice their ancestors and gods.
