Subject:Vietnamese 3 character inscription
Posted By: earlyblue Mon, Sep 01, 2014 IP: 98.248.190.195
Hello Asian art fans. Is there anyone out there that can translate these 3 early Vietnamese/Chinese calligraphy characters?

Thanks . . .

There are no such things as Vietnamese characters because Vietnamese probably originated from one of the many Chinese dialects and they did not have a written language till during the 17th century, Roman Catholic missionaries introduced a Latin-based orthography for Vietnamese.

Yours are probably Chinese but it would be impossible to translate without pictures.
