xiaojiang216 32 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 大家好! A neighbor of mine found something written on the bottom of a box. I examined it, and it was indeed Chinese. However, it was written very fast... This is called 草书, correct? How can this be used by means of communication? Is it more for use for oneself? For leaving a note for oneself, for example? I can see how that would work, but how can someone read this? This is what I have deciphered: 人生如 __ __，不__的__．做在生活和 __ __ 的 __ 中． __ __ __ 一 __ __ __ 入色 __ __ __ __ __ 十或客 __ __ __ . Can anyone decipher more of it? Thank you very much! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peterwelm 10 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Quest's result is right. Sometime, we would say 人生如梦,which is orignal from 苏轼的《念奴娇·赤壁怀古》: 大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。 故垒西边，人道是：三国周郎赤壁。 乱石穿空，惊涛拍岸，卷起千堆雪。 江山如画，一时多少豪杰。 遥想公瑾当年，小乔初嫁了，雄姿英发。 羽扇纶巾，谈笑间，樯橹灰飞烟灭。 故国神游，多情应笑我，早生华发。 人生如梦，一尊还酹江月。 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
