At Grain Buds, wheat kernels plump up but remain unripe, signaling an early stage of fullness. Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) poet Ouyang Xiu wrote in his poem Grain Buds: Most dear the ridge-side wheat in view; In wind they smile at rosy dew. Grain Buds encapsulates "full, yet not overflowing", and only thus does balance hold.
