Lia Posted March 8, 2005 at 01:15 PM Report Posted March 8, 2005 at 01:15 PM Hi everyone, I am a German girl interested in Chinese, as I started practicing Qi-Gong and only visit a TCM-doctor since nearly 8 years. So mainly I am an artist interested in Chinese tradition and lately calligraphy and writing. I am not intending to really learn it (or pretend to lol) but I'd love to see a calligraphic way of writing some of the following words: Silence Freedom Free Wild Black Blue Feather Wing Strenght/Power Star Moon Sea/Ocean Water Pain Wave (Sea)shell Fairy Spirit Blossom Art ohhh and my name, what is it written like in chinese traditional AND simplified and some calligraphy. My name is: Lia (Lee-a(h) maybe?) Is there anyone who is willing to help? If you want to see what I am doing to see if I am worth the efford take a look at seafairy.com Thanks soooooo much in advance! -Lia Quote

danka Posted March 15, 2005 at 11:03 PM Report Posted March 15, 2005 at 11:03 PM Let me try to make your list more complete (sorry I cannot help you with calligraphy): Silence 安静 Freedom 自由 Free 自由 Wild 野 Black 黑 Blue 蓝 Feather 羽 Wing 翅膀 Strenght/Power 力 Star 星 Moon 月 Sea/Ocean 海 Water 水 Pain 痛 Wave 波浪 (Sea)shell （贝）壳 Fairy Spirit 精神 Blossom 花 Art 艺术 Quote
confucius Posted March 16, 2005 at 08:39 AM Report Posted March 16, 2005 at 08:39 AM It is pronounced like "lee-ya" and is typed using simplified characters. I can not help you with calligraphy, but any cook inside a Chinese restaurant in Germany or Austria will be happy to write and pronounce it for you. For fairy, I suggest the following translation: 飞天 which means "apsara" and is usually used with reference to the cave drawings at Dunhuang. Good luck! Best wishes, Confucius Quote
