Imagery & Provenance意象与出处
Solar term
大暑 · Major Heat — "赤日几时过,清风无处寻。"
Imagery
Classical astronomy distinguished the bright primary rainbow (male) from the faint secondary one (female). This is the fainter, dustier rose.
Origin
Major Heat is also a high-summer term of thunderstorms, and rainbows are its weather. As the succeeding colour it goes one step deeper and duller than Evening Haze — the secondary bow, the one that is easy to miss.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Zeng Ji, “Major Heat” — “when will the red sun pass? No cool breeze can be found.” (succeeding colour of 大暑.)
