whereishunter Posted May 29, 2009 at 02:51 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 at 02:51 PM I bought a T-shirt when I was last in Vietnam and it has this written on it. 光静竜. All the Chinese people that I know dont know what 竜 means. I also asked a Vietnamese friend and they also didnt understand it!! I think it could mean bright and calm emperor/dragon .... But I'm really not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renzhe Posted May 29, 2009 at 04:40 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 at 04:40 PM You seem to be right, it's listed in the Kangxi dictionary: http://www.kangxizidian.com/kangxi/0870.gif I thought it was a Japanese simplification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuehanHao Posted May 29, 2009 at 09:41 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 at 09:41 PM I'd say it's an ancient Chinese character as well as a modern Japanese character. 约翰好 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
