Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term

处暑 · End of Heat — "离离暑云散，袅袅凉风起。"

Imagery

The purple-pink of the lilac cluster — a pink that has picked up violet.

Origin

As the turning colour it marks where the term’s palette crosses from pink into purple. Lilac blooms in the cool of the year, so the name and the colour agree: the term is turning toward autumn.

System

B Solar-term sets

Source

Bai Juyi, “End of Heat” — “the dense heat clouds scatter; a slender cool wind rises.” (turning colour of 处暑.)
