Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term

立冬 · Start of Winter — "水始冰，地始冻，雉入大水为蜃。"

Imagery

The pale yellow of privet in flower — an evergreen that holds its leaves through winter.

Origin

Privet is an evergreen, and its blossom carries a small pale-yellow note into the cold. As the succeeding colour it firms Half-Seen up one step — an image of yellow surviving the season rather than departing with it.
