Imagery & Provenance意象与出处

Solar term
小雪 · Minor Snow — "虹藏不见,天气上腾,地气下降。"
Imagery
Rouge thinned with water — a rose-red, dilute but saturated at its heart.
Origin
As the turning colour the term returns to cosmetics, and the pinks deepen. Rouge Water sits between the candle’s glow and full rouge — the colour of a wash brushed across paper.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances: “On the day of Minor Snow, the rainbow hides from sight.” (turning colour of 小雪.)
Citation
《礼记·月令》:小雪之日,虹藏不见。
