Imagery & Provenance意象与出处
Solar term
小暑 · Minor Heat — "温风至,蟋蟀居壁,鹰乃学习。"
Imagery
The red of a ripe persimmon — the term’s most saturated orange-red.
Origin
Ripe persimmons are a fixture of a Chinese late summer, and their red is the deepest the term reaches. Minor Heat closes on it: the apricot-oranges have travelled from the palest tan to a colour that is almost, but not yet, red.
System
B Solar-term sets
Source
Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances: “On the day of Minor Heat, warm winds arrive.” (combining colour of 小暑.)
Citation
