I'm not even sure that I have the orientation correct so any help would be appreciated! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted August 17, 2020 at 02:54 PM Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 at 02:54 PM The orientation is correct. Main text: 自從出生以來 (read top to bottom, right to left) — Ever since birth Left hand side: 戊戌年秋立峰書 — Written by Qiu Lifeng in wuxu year (e.g. 2018) I can't read the script on the red seals though. Maybe someone else can help with those. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted August 17, 2020 at 02:56 PM Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 at 02:56 PM The large characters read 自从出生以来 which means "since the day I was born" or more literally, "since I was born"。 The smaller characters give a date, 戊戌年 which most recently fell in 2018, then it's signed, looks like 秋立峰 to me but then the stamp looks more like 陈立峰 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
