New Members tstyllr Posted December 14, 2014 at 05:35 PM New Members Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 at 05:35 PM It's traditional Chinese for 烟寺晚钟 ,which is the title of an ancient Chinese poem. The left part ,吴峰生, is a signature of the writer(not the author of the poem),so is the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted December 15, 2014 at 02:01 PM Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 at 02:01 PM Thank you so much, tstyllr! Is the name in the signature a common name? I searched it on the internet but could not find much informaton! How woud it be transcribed in latin letters? Thank you again, Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members tstyllr Posted December 16, 2014 at 03:32 PM New Members Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 at 03:32 PM Glad to be of help. It's just a normal but not-so-common Chinese name. Chinese people usually use "Pinyin"(you can refer to wikipedia if you need more info.) of their Chinese names as English names, and that of 吴峰生 is Wu Fengsheng.
