Adventures in Asian Art



You can buy a wall scroll with many variations of the Rose Flower in Chinese characters.

If your name is Rose, read this: We've carefully transliterated Rose into Mandarin if you want your name, but it's problably better if you pick the meaning of Rose instead (more universal as you can find one that has a Rose meaning in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and even old Korean Hanja).

Rose

luō sī
羅
斯

This is the transliteration to Mandarin Chinese for the name Rose

Rose

(Name used in botany and some poems)

yě qiáng wēi
nobara
야장미
野
薔
薇

This is both the technical term for rose in the science of botany. However, it also means wild rose and can be found in some forms of poetry as well.

If you are wondering, this word for rose sounds good in Chinese, not like a super-technical such as the Latin words we use for scientific terms in the west).

Rose Flower

(The flower of love)

méi guì
玫
瑰

This is the most common way to write rose (as in the flower) in Chinese.

Rose Flower

(The flower of love)

qiáng wēi
bara / shoubi
장미
薔
薇

This is the most universal way to write rose (as in the flower) because it is understood in both Chinese and Japanese (same characters in either language). This is also a common way to write about roses in Asian poetry. This can be translated as "wild rose" if you are looking for that title.

This is also how to write "rose" in old Korean Hanja (though they now us Hangul and most Koreans of this generation will not be able to read this without a dictionary).

Rose

Japanese Katakana

roozu
ロ
ー
ズ

This is the name Rose written in Katakana (phonetic Japanese).

This name is written in Katakana, a specifically-Japanese character set.

(sorry, no standard calligraphy service/pricing for this selection).

Rose Flowers Given,
Frangrance Remains on Hands of Giver

zèng rén méi guī shǒu liú yú xiāng
手
留
余
香
贈
人
玫
瑰

Characters shown
above are read
vertically, starting
from the right

This phrase has been translated several ways:

1. Roses given, fragrance in hand.

2. You present others roses, fragrance remains.

3. The fragrance of the rose always remains on the hand of those that bestow them.

4. A little bit of fragrance always clings to the hands which give the flowers

However, this literally translates as, "Give someone rose flowers, [your] hands keep [the] remaining fragrance".

Wild Rose

yě méi guì
야매괴
野
玫
瑰

This is the simplest way to write "wild rose" in Chinese. The first word literally means wild. The second is the single-character form of rose or roses (plural or singular is not specified in Chinese characters). This can also be translated as "sweet briar".

All of our calligraphy is completely done by hand in the ancient way.

When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to our art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.

Therefore, allow a few weeks for delivery from the time you place your order. Rush options are available!

When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.

A nice Chinese calligraphy wall scroll

The scroll that I am holding in this picture is a "medium size"
4-character wall scroll.
As you can see, it is a great size to hang on your wall.
(We also offer custom wall scrolls in larger sizes)

A professional Chinese Calligrapher

Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.

There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.

Trying to learn Chinese calligrapher - a futile effort

Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.


A high-ranked Chinese master calligrapher that I met in Zhongwei

The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.

If you have not set up your computer to display Chinese, the characters in this table probably look like empty boxes or random text garbage.
This is why I spent hundreds of hours making images so that you could view the characters in the "Rose" listings above.
If you want your Windows computer to be able to display Chinese characters you can either head to your Regional and Language options in your Win XP control panel, select the [Languages] tab and click on [Install files for East Asian Languages]. This task will ask for your Win XP CD to complete in most cases. If you don't have your Windows XP CD, or are running Windows 98, you can also download/run the simplified Chinese font package installer from Microsoft which works independently with Win 98, ME, 2000, and XP. It's a 2.5MB download, so if you are on dial up, start the download and go make a sandwich.
