Subject:Seal script
Posted By: rat Mon, Oct 17, 2011 not a lot to add. as you note, the first character is the surname Jia, the second character is "shi", referring to "family, clan", the third and fourth character is a given name that is not obvious to me, the last two are "hua yin", or "seal for paintings". please post the picture itself |

Posted By: ChenA Thu, Oct 20, 2011 Thanks so much - I managed to find out that the fourth character is "niu", as in "cow". That leaves only the third character. |

Posted By: rat Fri, Oct 21, 2011 wow, really? I wouldn't have guessed that. admittedly I have no better suggestion...the only thing that comes to mind for the 3rd character is "tai" the character for large "da" with a dot at the bottom, but a name like "tainiu" doesn't make much sense to me, unless you take niu as its slang meaning of "cool, awesome". but who would have a seal that read "Jia Supercool"? |

Posted By: rat Fri, Nov 04, 2011 yes, I thought so too the first time I heard it, but that's how it's used these days, kind of like "cool, gutsy, daring" |
