Non-Violence in Chinese / Japanese...
Buy a Non-Violence calligraphy wall scroll here!
Personalize your custom “Non-Violence” project by clicking the button next to your favorite “Non-Violence” title below...
非暴力 is fairly self-explanatory.
The first character means "not," "non-" or "un-"
The middle and last character together mean "violence," "use of force" or simply "violent."
Together, these three characters would normally be translated as "nonviolence." A great gift for your favorite peace-lover.
See Also: Peace
反戰 means antiwar, as in what a pacifist believes in.
China doesn't tend to go to war very often, and Japan has embraced a pacifist ideology, so it's rare to need this word. However, this is the kind of word that war protesters would write on their signs.
There is a modern Japanese version of the second character which has become the standard in Japan after WWII. If you want your calligraphy written in the modern Japanese form, please click on the Kanji shown to the right instead of the button above. Note: Most Japanese and all Chinese people will recognize the form shown in the upper left.
