Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
处暑 · End of Heat — "离离暑云散,袅袅凉风起。"
Imagery
The pink of cherry blossom — slightly stronger than Faded Red, still light and cool.
Origin
As End of Heat’s succeeding colour it firms the term’s pink up a step without heating it. The four pinks are the summer’s reds seen from behind: colour remembered rather than felt.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Bai Juyi, “End of Heat” — “the dense heat clouds scatter; a slender cool wind rises.” (succeeding colour of 处暑.)
Citation
白居易《处暑》
