ma3zi1 Posted October 7, 2010 at 07:17 PM Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 at 07:17 PM Saw this as a profile pick on my friend's facebook page. On the top it looks like: 喜 券春 (with another character wrapping around the rest that has 示字旁) On the bottom I see: 五福？門 To the left of that is a name, maybe..? 砳朶？ What is the top character wrapping around the rest? What does this all mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outofin Posted October 7, 2010 at 08:47 PM Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 at 08:47 PM 福寿喜春 五福临门 The 福 surrounding other characters almost lost its original shape, but recognizable because it's such a commonly seen character on holiday posters. Basically you can write it as a very big '3' with a 'x' inside its lower circle, and people know what you're writing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted October 7, 2010 at 08:52 PM Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 at 08:52 PM Ah. Couldn't get the 臨 at all, as I was sure that the right-hand-side was 畐, so I couldn't see anything else.... How about the words in the outline of Taiwan?

ma3zi1 Posted October 8, 2010 at 01:15 AM Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 at 01:15 AM Y'know it's funny. Right after I posted it, I realized what the 五福臨門 part was. But, I have never seen that variant of 臨 before. As far as the giant 福 goes, thank you for your help! I would never have understood that without some explanation. That still leaves the little white Taiwan-shaped stuff, but that's pretty hard to read as-is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
