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
“Guī” is the jade tablet a lord held at court; the green tablet was the emblem of the east. A muted, sober green.
Origin
In the ancient rites each direction had its tablet, and the east — spring, wood, the green — had the green one. As the combining colour it gives Grain in Ear a ceremonial close: the term’s greens end not in foliage but in a stone tablet held in the hand.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances: “On the day of Grain in Ear, the mantis is born.” (combining colour of 芒种.)
Citation
《礼记·月令》:芒种之日,螳螂生。
