Mysterious text about the moon on chinese panels


耳耳语语

Recommended Posts

My family has two chinese panels since several generations. Apparently they are hard to read even for chinese people. One chinese teacher told me it was the story of the moon divinity 嫦娥, but i'm not sure about that, i only cay say that  夕 and 月 appear a few times. Have you any idea of what it may be ? Any help is appreciated !

 

Here are the full pictures :

The beginning looks to me like "  风翻夕,风翻日". So maybe it means something like "The wind transformed the moon, The wind transformed the sun".

(1) To split the long text into short sentences:
    The two scrolls were matching each other.
    Both are 100 characters.
    They can be read 5 characters each sentence.
    But they cannot read 7 characters each sentence.
    Otherwise, each sentence may have different characters just as the format in 詞 or 曲.   
    Based on the first text you cut, 5 characters each sentence is doubtful.
    The meaning is incomplete.

(2) Wrong characters
    Your translation  风翻夕,风翻日 is not correct
    They are Traditional Chinese characters.
    風嫋又風嫋嫋   (in Simplified Chinese 风袅又风袅袅)
    Where
     風 = Wind
     嫋 = curling upwards; wavering gently
    The whole sentence = the wind wavering gently again and again
    The 3rd one is 又 (again), not 夕
    The last one (two strokes) is the symbol of repeating the previous character.  And it seldom being used as the 1st character in the sentence.


(3) Matching character
    Since these two scroll are matching each other, so does the first sentence.
    On the 2nd pictures (...3602.jpg), the first sentence is ..
    雪飄又雪飄飄
     Where
     雪 = Snow ---> noun, Matching to Wind (風)
     飄 = Floating ---> verb. Matching to 嫋


(4) Another way of guessing the character    
     Such a long text in the scroll. it is difficult to matching fully.  
     But we may still pick randomly for checking.
     Such as on the left side show 日, and the left side might be 月
     In the text, the poet use 花 to matching 月.  Acceptable !  (花好 pk 月圓)
   
To know the whole scroll takes time.
 But it will be fun. ( Acting as the treasure explorer.)
