Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea--
The seven essentials for Chinese to start a day
柴米油盐酱醋茶，少了盐可不行。
作为百味之首，
从夙沙氏“煮海为盐”经历海盐 湖盐 井盐
小到改变食物味道，大到支撑曾经的社稷财政
盐这粒小小的晶体，
见证着中国历史，从不缺席
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.
