rutlandgirl Posted February 14, 2007 at 11:33 PM Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 at 11:33 PM I am need of the symbol/s for "Keeper Of Souls" asap. A friend of mine needs this sooner rather than later and I was told this site is the best to find symbols. Also, I was given the pinyin: gou4 yun2 shi4 zhe3.......where can I turn this into a picture of the symbol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted February 15, 2007 at 11:30 AM Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 at 11:30 AM I can't think of anything like "gou4 yun2 shi4 zhe3". One term of not too different pronunciation is "勾魂使者" (gōu hún shǐzhě ), but it looks like this. BTW, those are called Chinese characters, not symbols.

roddy Posted February 15, 2007 at 12:18 PM Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 at 12:18 PM The film of the same name was translated as 灵魂守护者. That's more guard, protect, than keep, although it's obviously fairly close. Is it a 'Here, keep my soul for a minute while I pop to the toilet' kind of situation, or a grander 'While I am the Keeper of the Souls none shall harm them' kind of idea?

HashiriKata Posted February 15, 2007 at 12:36 PM Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 at 12:36 PM I think this may be intended as a tattoo. If so, "勾魂使者" as suggested by skylee may be what is wanted, meaning perhaps something like: "soul catching devil/ messenger". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted February 15, 2007 at 02:11 PM Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 at 02:11 PM meaning perhaps something like: "soul catching devil/ messenger". More like a "jinx" to me. K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
