Sapidity (English-Chinese Edition): A Rice-Themed Notebook of Chinese Food, Memory & Everyday Life

Sapidity (English-Chinese Edition): A Rice-Themed Notebook of Chinese Food, Memory & Everyday Life

Every Grain Has a Story — Follow Rice from Its First Cultivation in China to the Bowls and Snacks It Became, Told in Short Bilingual Pieces with Illustrations and Room to Write
This is not a history of rice, and it is not a blank notebook. It is a bilingual journal built around a simple idea: every grain of rice has a story. You follow rice from the moment it was first cultivated in China, through the dishes and snacks it became, and out into the world where Chinese communities carried its taste in their memory. The text is in Chinese and English, illustrated with warm, food-focused drawings, and the pages leave you room to write—your own memories of a meal, a list of dishes you want to try, a note about what “清欢” (simple, quiet joy) means to you. If you want a small, beautiful companion that connects food, culture and your own table—rather than read an academic study of rice or use a generic blank journal—this is it.

From the Paddy Fields of China to the World’s Table

Rice is more than a staple—it is a cultural thread woven through thousands of years of Chinese history. Qing Huan (also titled Sapidity) is a bilingual (Chinese-English) exploration of this humble grain, born from the documentary series Rice Trace.

What’s Inside:
This 192-page volume takes you along the development, spread, and transmission of Chinese rice culture. Discover how the ingenuity of the Chinese people gave rise to an endless variety of rice-based delicacies, and how these foods traveled across the globe—fostering not only culinary fusion but also cultural exchange between China and the world.

As a Chinese proverb says, "The same rice nourishes a hundred kinds of people." Through history, culture, and food, this book offers a unique lens on how a single grain connects us all.
