Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term

秋分 · Autumn Equinox — "漏钟仍夜浅，时节欲秋分。"

Imagery

“Bīngtái” is a classical name for mugwort, the Artemisia of ritual and medicine. A greyed, sage-green.

Origin

Mugwort was burned to drive off illness and hung at festivals. As the turning colour it gives the equinox a herbal, slightly dusty green — the term’s celadons acquiring a savour.
