New Members MJG Posted November 25, 2014 at 07:46 PM New Members Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 at 07:46 PM Hi! I'm a real beginner at Chinese, hoping to translate an old wall hanging of a Tiger I have as (what I hoped would be) a simple project... but I've had a lot of trouble even reading the characters to begin with. I'd like to have a go at translating the text myself (though if there's anything really tricky in there I wouldn't complain about hints), but if anyone could help me transcribe the characters to give me a headstart I'd be really grateful! Thanks! P.S. Picture should be attached below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
