Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term

立夏 · Start of Summer — "蝼蝈鸣，蚯蚓出，王瓜生。"

Imagery

“Cuì” is kingfisher jade; “piāo” is pale silk. A green that keeps the shimmer of blue-green silk in it.

Origin

As Start of Summer’s succeeding colour it steps off the wheat field and back toward the sky, adding a touch of blue to the green. Chinese dyers reached the whole family from one indigo bath; this is the lightest dip, a green still wet.
