Translation Chinese characters on scroll

[lonny tao]

Because I like Chinese things and Chinese characters,

I have some Chinese things with characters hanging on the wall.

A poem ( see other topic ) and some Chinese scrolls.

Most scrolls I have, I can read them, I found that by google but two I can not read.

These scrolls are made in China and coming from a Chinese store here.

Maybey not much but I like them, nice pictures and colours on it.

What does these characters say?

If anybody can say it, I am again verry happy.

Only the golden characters are already good, I think the black characters are to small to read?

To bad but my camera can not make a better picture like this.

Hi,

Both of these scrolls have Chinese idioms on them, ones that might be categorized as "lucky phrases", like the ones that are used by Chinese on New Year's Eve.

The first is 一帆风顺 (yī fān fēng shùn), which means something like "may everything go smoothly", or "safe travels".

The second is 如意吉祥 (rú yì jí xiáng), meaning "good luck and all the best to you".

I didn't have time to look at the characters in the black, but maybe someone else can pick up the slack.

Nice to know what these scrolls are saying.

Thanks, and yes, maybey someone else can translate the black characters.

The first is 一帆风顺 and the black characters are 鸿图大展 好运来

The second is 如意吉祥 and the black characters are 祝福千万句 事事皆如意
