Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
春分 · Spring Equinox — "春分雨脚落声微,柳岸斜风带客归。"
Imagery
Named for the legendary white steed of the classics. A milk-white that leans the faintest degree toward the pale greens.
Origin
The term’s colours are a study in near-white: four steps that a careless eye would call one. Auspicious Measure is the second, a shade warmer than Bright Jade. They are the equinox seen as balance — colour held so evenly that it barely tips.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Xu Xuan, “Spring Equinox” — on the day when day and night stand equal. (succeeding colour of 春分.)
Citation
徐铉《春分》
Evidence
Ancient-text attestation (attestation > artifact > compilation > approximation)
