| Feb 5, 2019 at 9:16 | comment | added | Vincent J. Ruan | @droooze Thanks. About the second picture, the problem of your guess is that it's not a common phrase. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 5:56 | comment | added | dROOOze | 終 is top left. What I meant was, 終 was rewritten such that 糸 appears on the top of the character and 冬 appears on the bottom of the character, which explains its shape in the photo. The phrase should be 追遠慎終 to have a reading order that makes sense. Anyway, here's my guess for the second photo: 園 壽. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 5:51 | comment | added | Vincent J. Ruan | @droooze So, 終 is top left or bottom left? Also, do you have any clue on the second picture? I assume they're just typical Cursive. | |
| Feb 4, 2019 at 23:56 | comment | added | dROOOze | It is believable if 終 was restructured such that 糸 is written on the top. Well done for solving it :) | |
| Feb 4, 2019 at 22:22 | comment | added | Vincent J. Ruan | @droooze I'm not sure about the 2 left characters either, but I'm pretty sure about the last one, because 遠 has a variant: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%80%BA Therefore, if you're sure about your guess, then those 4 character should be 慎終追遠, because that's perhaps the only old common phrase with 追 and 遠. | |
| Feb 4, 2019 at 21:38 | comment | added | dROOOze | Well, the other three characters are believable, but I can't see 終. Also, that implies that the first character 慎 is on the bottom left. | |
| Feb 4, 2019 at 20:28 | comment | added | Vincent J. Ruan | @droooze With your hint, I think the first picture is 慎終追遠, a phrase from Confucian Analects. | |
| Feb 4, 2019 at 18:56 | comment | added | dROOOze | Well, I have a big hunch that the top right character in the first picture is 追. In fact the left hand side of both characters on the right in that picture is 辵/辶. | |
