A couple of quick comments:

Jenny says that 'to sell' 买 is second tone, but it should be third tone, I think.

 

I also think that in usage, 香 is often used just as 'tasty' as Jenny said.  That is, I've heard people refer to things like chocolate cake (which is neither 'savory' nor necessarily 'fragrant') as 香.

Fantastic show！ It's beautiful how the phrases 无改 and 不改 line up in the poem.  Any analysis why the poet would use both words instead of choosing just one? I know 无 is more literary, but is there any other difference in meaning?
