小满 · Grain Full — "苦菜秀,靡草死,小暑至。"

Origin
A cosmetic rather than a plant this time: the red of face-paint, layered on. As the turning colour it is the term’s most direct red, unblunted by water or earth, the colour a Chinese cosmetic box would call lip-rouge.

Source
Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances: “On the day of Grain Full, the sow-thistle flourishes.” (turning colour of 小满.)
