I am from the beautiful spring flowers
The vibrant colors that make your jaw drop
The elegant pottery with unbelievable detail
The patterns that pull you in with their natural beauty
From the blue and white porcelain that tells a story
From the paintings that blow your mind with their textures
Slowly painted showing nature’s best landscapes
The water, trees, and other intricate details of nature
I am from the land of art
I am from Neo-Confucianism
The clever workings of Zhu Xi
His life of intensely studying religions
Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism in one
Making a unified religion that evetyone can believe
Ending the religion wars of people
I am from a land of unified religion
I am from the creation of gunpowder
The great presentation of fireworks
Lighting the sky with beautiful colors
Also making cannons possible
War made easier with blasting cannonballs
After the war is over, magnificent blues, reds, greens, and other colors of the rainbow
I am from a land of invention
I am from China
I am from the greatest Chinese civilization of the time
I am from the magnificent Song Dynasty
