Everyday provision is placed beside conduct before examples develop Guan Zhong’s choices. Giving and taking are connected through trust and lasting allegiance within the historical narrative; this is not evidence for present-day outcomes.

The brief proposes a warm, grainy baritone. Timbre describes vocal quality; baritone names a vocal category, not a real singer’s verified identity. Follow the rise, fall and breathing of sentences, then ask whether accompaniment makes room for them. Clear-diction instructions are not pronunciation certification.

Read the lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 管仲既任政相齊,以區區之齊在海濱,通貨積財,富國彊兵,與俗同好惡。 故其稱曰:「倉廩實而知禮節,衣食足而知榮辱,上服度則六親固。四維不張,國乃滅亡。下令如流水之原,令順民心。」故論卑而易行。俗之所欲,因而予之;俗之所否,因而去之。 [Verse 2] 其為政也,善因禍而為福,轉敗而為功。貴輕重,慎權衡。 桓公實怒少姬,南襲蔡,管仲因而伐楚,責包茅不入貢於周室。桓公實北征山戎,而管仲因而令燕修召公之政。 [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] 於柯之會,桓公欲背曹沫之約,管仲因而信之,諸侯由是歸齊。故曰:「知與之為取,政之寶也。」 管仲富擬於公室,有三歸、反坫,齊人不以為侈。管仲卒,齊國遵其政,常彊於諸侯。後百餘年而有晏子焉。 [Instrumental Outro]
