Anyone Read Chinese?

Post by hurryb4itsgone »

I am attempting to translate some characters on artwork that my mom painted. A member of the forums at ebid.net recommended I try here. Attached are close ups of some of the characters. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The first one is 愛平积 I think. The last character is not finished, and the sentence mixes traditionnal and simplified characters... It could mean something like "love lasts long"

The second and third pictures show the same characters. One is 愛 again, love. I can't read the other one.

Wait, I'll ask for help.

Ask your mom. She is obviously no calligraph so she might not know herself, I can understand that… :roll:

I am trying not to be too harsh, so don't push it.

愛平和
西拉愛
愛西拉

And it's not art.

Hello,hope my reply still can be a help.
The letters from the reply above were right,but I’d like to add some explanations.
愛 is traditional Chinese also Japanese meaning love.
平和is Japanese word .it would be 和平 in Chinese which means peace.
西拉 is a name,perhaps your name would be sile? And your mother was expressing her love towards you?
