Lu Posted February 15, 2023 at 08:10 AM Report Posted February 15, 2023 at 08:10 AM 财寿爱禄力 riches, a long life, love, a steady and lucrative career, power. So, five well-wishes. Riches, a long life and a good career are traditional well-wishes, love is not traditional but fits in there well enough. Power looks odd to me in this string of wishes, but I guess it's a nice wish. The calligraphy is quite awful, do not use that for anything. Especially not for a tattoo, but not even as a background on your phone. 3 Quote
New Members praying_mantis Posted February 15, 2023 at 08:42 AM Author New Members Report Posted February 15, 2023 at 08:42 AM Does this word 爰 have the same meaning Love as the word 愛 ? Or is it just written badly on the original picture? Quote
New Members praying_mantis Posted February 15, 2023 at 08:50 AM Author New Members Report Posted February 15, 2023 at 08:50 AM Sorry, my mistake. These words should be written a litlle bit different. Quote
Lu Posted February 15, 2023 at 08:53 AM Report Posted February 15, 2023 at 08:53 AM 爱 ài is the simplified character, 愛 ài is the traditional version. The character means 'love'. 爰 yuán looks a lot like 爱 ài, but it's a slightly different character with an entirely different meaning. 1 1 Quote
