This is NianNian — curious and bright, He dreams of palaces bathed in light. He wears his crown and softly grins, “Beijing awaits — let’s begin!”

He steps beneath the Meridian Gate, With crimson walls and golden plates.

The rooftops shine with dragons bold, Each tile a tale from days of old.

He imagines himself a scholar child, Learning rites and wisdom mild.

He walks through halls of grand decree, Where emperors ruled with dignity.

He studies scrolls and brushstroke art, And learns to write with gentle heart.

He hears the drums from palace past, Reminding him that peace will last.

He writes, “This place was built with thought — Where virtue stands and greed is not.”

He draws the halls, each court, each gate, To share with friends and celebrate.

“I learn from dragons, from books, from grace. I’m NianNian — honor builds this place.”
