If anyone on the forum who reads Chinese would be kind enough to translate the characters on these handpainted silk wall hangnings, I'd really appreciate it.

They have been adorning the walls of our house for years and today I got curious enough to take some quick pics! :)

Thanks in advance!!!

Apparently it's from the pre-internet days.A man in China says he found a S&W in a rice paddy and needs help identifying it.He wants to know what it's worth.That's the top hanging.

The bottom hanging asks to close the thread.He traded it for two chickens and a bottle of rice wine.
 
Dear Lord... here we go!!:eek::eek::eek::D

My Chinese is some what rusty as it's been many years since I lived above the buffet in Chinatown while I was dancing on Broadway, but loosely translated....

Man who go to bed rif dog wake up rif frees
 
^^^^^^^^^ Remember when you became a moderator and how excited you were about making a difference? How is that dream doing?

Kinda like herding cats... but I love every minute of it.. you guys make it worth while..

OOOOPs gotta go .. somebody needs " DING" and my count for this month is low!!:eek::eek::rolleyes::D;););)
 
It says.... Never mind, I'm not going there. No, that's not what is says translation wise. It's what I said, not what the writing says. What the writing says is, Oh, just forget it. No, that's not what the cloth says. Oh for Pete's sake, how do I get myself into these things.
 
cant see it well enough to for my very limited translation skills - the top right character looks to be 100 & the red character at the bottom left is the signature - that is usually a stamp

sorry I cant tell you more than that
 
The Forum translator didn't ding any of the symbols so I know how I'm going to post from here on!:D:D:D


父亲节快乐!

Rough translation is "Happy father's day!"
 
Come on guys really ????
Its apparent this is a carryout menu from "Hung Lo's"
located in beautiful downtown Los Angeles.
Says the General Tsaos chucken is 8.99 and Egg Rolls
are 2.99 each
Address is at bottom.

I don't know anything about those symbols. I wanted a tattoo with the Chinese symbol for health, later found out it said soy sauce.

Never, ever get a hanzi (Chinese) or kanji (Japanese) character tattoo unless you are absolutely certain of it's meaning. These logograms are components of alphabets containing over 3000 symbols and minor differences between the strokes can change the meaning significantly. :eek:

So I was in Baltimore, coupla years back, nice bar/restaurant kinda place. Young bartender guy, looks Asian, and I see two Chinese characters, Japanese kanji, on his forearm. I say, incredulously, "Is your name Ishikawa?" He says, yep, proudly, yes indeed.

To me it would be kinda like having somebody tattoo "Johnson" on my forearm....

Once, at the gym, I saw a young lady with three Chinese ideograms tattooed on her shoulder. I asked her what they meant.

"Peace, love, and moderation."

"Whoa. A guy can get too much of that."

Hmm, methinks an anatomy lesson is in order, here.
