Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
大暑 · Major Heat — "赤日几时过,清风无处寻。"

“xī” is evening, “lán” the mist on a mountain. A dusty rose, the colour of a hillside at dusk.
Origin
Major Heat is the hottest term of the year. Its palette is a single muted rose, opening with the softest — heat seen at a distance, the hills muffled in rose-coloured haze, the colour cooled by the hour.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Zeng Ji, “Major Heat” — “when will the red sun pass? No cool breeze can be found.” (opening colour of 大暑.)
