Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
雨水 · Rain Water — "随风潜入夜,润物细无声。"
Imagery
The look of a clear, welling surface — water so limpid it seems to hold light. A tender pink-on-white, the colour of spring water just after rain.
Origin
Rain Water is the second term of spring, when rainfall begins to grow and streams start to run full. “Brimming” is borrowed from the sense of water rising to its lip — pale pink catching the light on a full surface. It is the opening colour of the term, and the softest note in a four-part descent from pink to plum.
System

Source
Du Fu, “Happy Rain on a Spring Night” — “it steals in on the night wind, moistening all things in silence.” (opening colour of 雨水.)
