trien27 Posted April 10, 2004 at 02:13 PM Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 at 02:13 PM cheng gong: the characters went got to Japan (seiko, Seiko is the famous watch company's name) from China, means success. This phrase is from Japan then returned to China. Guan is Chinese for relations. Jian(, meaning "key", as key in "key word", not as key in "lock and key", also means key from the "keyboard" in Japan), is from Japan then returned to China. by "From Japan, then returned to China": I mean that the word or phrase was first used in Japan, then it spread Mainland China via the Chinese communities in Asia. So therefore it's translated (transversed/reversed/backwards) verbatim (word for word) into English as "Key to success". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
