Solar term
小寒 · Minor Cold — "雁北乡,鹊始巢,雉始雊。"
Imagery
The dry yellow-gold of a harvested field under winter sun.
Origin
As the turning colour it warms the term’s scale into real yellow-gold. The name keeps red and yellow in one word, as though the stubble still held a trace of the summer that coloured it.

B Solar-term sets
Source
Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances: “On the day of Minor Cold, wild geese head north.” (turning colour of 小寒.)
