Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
小雪 · Minor Snow — "虹藏不见,天气上腾,地气下降。"
Imagery
“cǎn” is a dim, greyed shade. A purple that has lost its saturation, almost a mauve.
Origin
As Minor Snow’s succeeding colour it cools the term’s pink toward violet while dimming it. The name itself means lacklustre — a colour chosen for its inability to shine, fitting a term that is all short days and grey light.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances: “On the day of Minor Snow, the rainbow hides from sight.” (succeeding colour of 小雪.)
Citation
《礼记·月令》:小雪之日,虹藏不见。
Evidence
Ancient-text attestation (attestation > artifact > compilation > approximation)
