Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term

小满 · Grain Full — "苦菜秀，靡草死，小暑至。"

Imagery

From the Book of Songs: “my vermilion is very bright.” A pure, strong vermilion — the term’s deepest red.

Origin

In the poem the speaker has dyed cloth and boasts that the red has come out brilliantly. As the combining colour it closes Grain Full at full strength — the four reds have gone from the softest to the most saturated, and the whole term is spent.

Source
