Shelley Posted August 17, 2014 at 04:46 PM Report Posted August 17, 2014 at 04:46 PM This one is a different style from the first Sunday puzzle. By applying the correct tones and so with different meanings make sense of the following 朝朝朝朝朝朝朝 长长长长长长长 Unfortunately the second line is simplified form as this what I have my IME set to, but it doesn't affect the puzzle. Good luck and enjoy 1 Quote

Shelley Posted August 17, 2014 at 09:52 PM Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 at 09:52 PM I will eventually give the answer so you will find out in the end. Why not have a go yourself? Quote

Shelley Posted August 17, 2014 at 11:35 PM Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 at 11:35 PM @MPhillips Good effort but there are 7 characters per line and so it should be longer and in the same order. Quote
MPhillips Posted August 17, 2014 at 11:37 PM Report Posted August 17, 2014 at 11:37 PM So it's a 对联 then, right Shelley? Quote
Shelley Posted August 17, 2014 at 11:44 PM Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 at 11:44 PM Yes it is a couplet, not sure if you can call it rhyming, but it is like a poem. Quote

Shelley Posted August 18, 2014 at 01:16 PM Author Report Posted August 18, 2014 at 01:16 PM @Mindmaxd good try but not quite right. Try translating it into English and see what you get, that may help. I was hoping for the tones to be applied but also a translation to see if it made sense. Quote
Shelley Posted August 24, 2014 at 12:43 PM Author Report Posted August 24, 2014 at 12:43 PM So here is the answer, I will put it in as a spoiler so that if someone wants to try it later the answer isn't too obvious. The tones are as follows 1212112 , 3232223. A translation given is- In the morning there is a court, in the morning there is a court, every morning there is a court; Constantly growing, constantly growing, always and forever growing. Hope you enjoyed it. Quote
