Imagery & Provenance意象与出处
Solar term
春分 · Spring Equinox — "春分雨脚落声微,柳岸斜风带客归。"
Imagery
The grey-white of a field under first frost — the palest of the term’s greys, still holding warmth.
Origin
Spring Equinox closes with the coolest of its four neutrals. The name imagines frost not on winter ground but on the last cold morning of the equinox, when the day will shortly warm. Four whites, one after another: luminous, milky, chalk, and frost.
