Imagery & Provenance意象与出处
Solar term
雨水 · Rain Water — "随风潜入夜,润物细无声。"
Imagery
From the “Summons to the Soul”: leaves with purple stems “spreading like a screen”, rippled by the waves. A deep plum-purple with red beneath it.
Origin
The phrase is a Chuci image of river plants with violet stalks and leaf-blades fanning out like a folding screen. Rain Water’s combining colour closes the term at its darkest and most saturated, gathering the four pinks into a single deep note — water, scent, and shadow at the end of a rainy dusk.
System

Source
Du Fu, “Happy Rain on a Spring Night” — “it steals in on the night wind, moistening all things in silence.” (combining colour of 雨水.)
