Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
寒露 · Cold Dew — "萧疏桐叶上,月白露初团。"
Imagery
Green so strong it moves — “jade” plus “wave.” Also the name of a famous Tang green wine.
Origin
Both meanings are the same: a green with motion in it. As Cold Dew’s succeeding colour it is the term’s most saturated green, one step before the palette silts down toward grey.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Dai Cha, “Cold Dew” — “on sparse paulownia leaves the white dew first gathers.” (succeeding colour of 寒露.)
Citation
戴察《寒露》
