"Three Flavors of China"
Confucius stands by the river: "Thus it flows, never ceasing, day and night"
Verse 1 ·Upon the Tongue
Upon the tongue —the numbing fire of Sichuan
Cantonese soup simmers with a thousand years of patience
Shandong's sauce bursts with the Yellow River's boldness
Huaiyang's knife carves Jiangnan's ink-wash landscape
A pair of chopsticks lifts twenty-four dynasties of grace
The deepest love of the Chinese people
Is spoken in the steam rising from a family table
Warm wordless in place
Verse 2 ·Upon the Heart
Upon the heart —Li Bai's moonlight still embroidered there
Du Fu's autumn meditation echoes through a thatched hut's air
Su Shi stewed his heartbreak into a pot of Dongpo pork
Xin Qiji hid his sword's gleam in lantern-lit verse
From the reeds and rushes of the ancient Book of Songs
To the open sea where spring warms the soul
Every Chinese is a poet born —
Living each day like a couplet complete and whole
Chorus 1 ·The Peak of Knowing
At the peak of knowing —Laozi rides westward on a dark green ox
Zhuangzi still dreams of butterflies dancing through his thoughts
Wang Yangming whispers: "The mind is light —outside it nothing exists"
The Middle Way is not compromise —it is balance forged in might
The code of Heaven and humanity woven as one
Is carved into every Chinese bone and bloodline
Never forgotten never undone
Chorus 2 ·Three Flavors One China
The tongue tastes the flavor —the heart holds the love
At the peak of knowing five thousand years of wisdom rise above
This world is vast —vast beyond all measure
Yet a pair of chopsticks can hold the sky
A single poem can cradle joy and sorrow
A quiet truth can bind you and I
This is China —three flavors woven into one
