霞 (Xiá):
A BURNING COPPER
霞 (Xiá) exemplifies the colour of the sky at sunset.

Also known as ‘afterglow’, it refers to colourful bright and golden-red clouds appearing just after sunset, caused by the scattering of fine dust particles suspended in the high atmosphere. These often range from light purple to deep, vivid red, and though 霞 (Xia) contains a slightly different range of vivid copper tones, it nonetheless conveys the same impression of a burning sky.

The phenomenon is mentioned in Yuan You, a short story in the Songs of Chu (dating back to the Warring States period) where it is referred to as an elusive place floating above the clouds where one is able to find one’s soul.
