Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
大暑 · Major Heat — "赤日几时过,清风无处寻。"
Imagery
“Jiàng” is deep crimson; “shā” is fine gauze. A muted brick-rose, the colour of red seen through thin cloth.
Origin
As Major Heat’s turning colour it moves the term’s rose from air to textile — the same dusky pink, now pressed flat and dry. Heat at its peak is given the feeling of a shade pulled across a window.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Zeng Ji, “Major Heat” — “when will the red sun pass? No cool breeze can be found.” (turning colour of 大暑.)
Citation
