Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
夏至 · Summer Solstice — "昼晷已云极,宵漏自此长。"
Imagery
The red of a skirt dyed with pomegranate — a deep, glowing scarlet. To “bow before the pomegranate skirt” means to be undone by a woman’s beauty.
Origin
Pomegranate-dyed skirts were a Tang fashion, and the phrase entered the language as shorthand for a beauty one cannot resist. As Summer Solstice’s succeeding colour it keeps the term’s heat but gives it a body and a wearer.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Wei Yingwu, “Escaping the Heat by the North Pool at the Summer Solstice”. (succeeding colour of 夏至.)
Citation
韦应物《夏至避暑北池》
