April 09, 2009, 09:37 PMFantastic 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?

April 10, 2009, 01:57 AMA 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.
