New Members TimLost Posted March 9, 2017 at 09:00 PM New Members Report Posted March 9, 2017 at 09:00 PM Hi Everyone New to the forum, and a very new starter regards learning Chinese. I am learning because I love the culture and self learning calligraphy and collect Chinese items. I wonder if anyone here can help. I have a ink stone with some script on but have tried my hardest to figure it out with no joy, (as I said new to all this) I would greatly appreciate any help. I have included the image of the script. I really look forward to any response. Tim Quote
