Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term

立冬 · Start of Winter — "水始冰，地始冻，雉入大水为蜃。"

Imagery

“Bàn jiàn” is to see only half — a yellow so pale it is barely present, glimpsed rather than shown.

Origin

Start of Winter opens the year’s pale half. The term’s palette is a single soft yellow, and it begins at the very lightest: a yellow you have to look for, the colour of thin winter sun on a wall.

Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances: “On the day of Start of Winter, water begins to freeze.” (opening colour of 立冬.)
