Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
芒种 · Grain in Ear — "螳螂生,鵙始鸣,反舌无声。"
Imagery
“Jūn” is the skin of bamboo; Bamboo Mist is the pale, soft green-grey of thin mist among bamboos.
Origin
Grain in Ear begins the season when the bearded grains are sown, and the term’s colours are all a single soft bamboo-green. It opens at the palest: mist, not bamboo — the colour half-dissolved in the air.
System
