Message Yes, you are quite astute! Many experts in the field did not pick up on the fact that "Wu-kao" may not be a reign year. I have had a few translators take a stab at this and your note confirms what I feel is the best interpretation to date: "After three years of working on Official Wushu Exam, on February 2nd, Jin Guo Jun who is from Jin Lin Village, Zhang Nan has become a presented scholar. I've built and engraved this seal to congratulate him as becoming a nobleman. Best wishes on his official way as forever lofty as Song Mt. and his true will on longevity. Sincerely presented by Ji Kuan, a monk." Thank You! Post a Response |
