Solar term

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

Imagery

The strong yellow of turmeric root — a dye and a spice. The term’s deepest, warmest yellow.

Origin

Turmeric stains cloth a lasting yellow and gives curry its colour. Start of Winter closes on it: four yellows from half-glimpsed to full strength, the last one a colour that will not wash out.
