Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
雨水 · Rain Water — "随风潜入夜,润物细无声。"
Imagery
“Su” is to revive or come back to life. Reviving Plum is the flushed rose of a plum in first bloom.
Origin
Rain Water falls just as plum blossom opens across the south. The name ties the colour to revival: the tree waking, the rain arriving, the season restarting. As the turning colour it is where the term’s pinks finally take on real body, pastel giving way to blossom.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Du Fu, “Happy Rain on a Spring Night” — “it steals in on the night wind, moistening all things in silence.” (turning colour of 雨水.)
Citation
杜甫《春夜喜雨》
Evidence
Ancient-text attestation (attestation > artifact > compilation > approximation)
