ralph1414 Posted September 23, 2004 at 02:15 AM Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 at 02:15 AM Hello, I have run across a saying that I want to do a calligraphy of. The saying is: "May you have the five blessings and embody the nine similarities." wu4 fu2 jin4 ju? I think this is correct but don't know the tone of "ju" in this sense. The five blessings are: long life, wealth, health, many sons and a natural death. I have translated the five blessings as: shou3, cai2, kang1, duo1 zi4, lao4 si4 Is this correct? The nine similarities are (to be) "like high hills, mountain masses, top-most ridges, huge bulks of rock, streams, the morn, the sun, like the age of the southern hills and, like the luxuriance of fir and cypress - so may be thy increase and descendents to come." I am not able to translate that into Chinese. Can someone help me by providing the pinyin for the nine similarities and correcting any mistakes I may have made? Thank you.
