Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea--
The seven essentials for Chinese to start a day
Chai, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea, it’s not enough without salt.
As the top of all flavors,
From Susha's "cooking the sea into salt" to experience sea salt, lake salt and well salt
Small enough to change the taste of food, big enough to support the former state finances
The little crystal of salt,
Witnessed Chinese history, never absent
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.
One can't live without salt.
And saltiness heads the list of all tastes.
Legend goes that the tribal leader Susha “boiled the sea water to get salt”,
and then did we have varieties of it from the sea, lakes, and wells.
It is as trivial as a kitchen seasoning, and as vital as a nation’s economic lifeline.
From a grain of salt,
One may take a glimpse of the Chinese history.
