Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term

霜降 · Frost's Descent — "豺乃祭兽，草木黄落，蛰虫咸俯。"

Imagery

Carmine — the red dye pressed from the cochineal insect. Deeper and cooler than vermilion.

Origin

Cochineal red was traded across the world, and as Frost’s Descent’s succeeding colour it takes the palette from mineral red to insect red — the same fire, but a shade livelier and more violet.

System

B Solar-term sets

Source

Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances: “On the day of Frost’s Descent, the jackal offers its kill.” (succeeding colour of 霜降.)

Citation
