New Members Thies Posted January 18, 2015 at 05:16 PM New Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 at 05:16 PM I'm looking for a kind person that can translate some calligraphys I was given when I was in China. I already tried to translate them with Google translator and some image translators but without success. They were made in Hanghzou if it helps. Thanks for your help! Here they are: http://imgur.com/UhGK1e7,l6Aq4aS,xAoUF5L,Ze18A2H#0 Quote
Lu Posted January 19, 2015 at 02:35 PM Report Posted January 19, 2015 at 02:35 PM 1 big character: 福 happiness small characters: 贏爾只 Ying-er-zhi, probably the name of the calligrapher, but it would be an odd name. Not sure what to make of this. 2 big character: 吉 auspicious small charactes: 金濤 Jin Tao, probably the calligrapher's name. 3 big characters: 祥和 harmony small characters: 汪尚楠書 written (calligraphed) by Wang Shangnan Do wait for confirmation, I may well have misread something.

OneEye Posted January 19, 2015 at 03:39 PM Report Posted January 19, 2015 at 03:39 PM The big character in #1 is 禮, not 福, and means ritual/propriety/etiquette. Also, I'm not sure that's 只, but I don't have a better answer, either. My 草書 is getting rusty already. Otherwise, Lu's answer is correct. Quote
dwq Posted January 24, 2015 at 07:08 AM Report Posted January 24, 2015 at 07:08 AM Perhaps post a close-up of the seal and someone might be able to figure out the character from it. Quote
