MikeyBoy44 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It's not the clearest, but let me try: "Twenty-three men surrounded by mountains and trees Brought together and led by two men from the wheat grows Held battle against teams from the place where the sun sets Three other bands and tribes they warred against Before they faced their final foe. Seven times they did battle with the ones from the east but the twenty-three from mountains and trees prevailed to rule the land They claimed from the other tribe a silver bowl And paraded it throughout their streets" Again, it's pretty vague, so I could be wrong. I shed a tear man. Just beautiful bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kran Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Not to mention, there is an absence of the word "love", when it shows up TWICE. The character for love is this The character you're referring to is probably heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kran Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 To answer your question OP, it's probably an old saying from some wise old man. My interpretation of it is "In order to conquer your horizons you must have a giving heart. Speak honourably and live your life fearlessly amidst the storms and tribulations."

Which was was that one (at the last column) after 'heart'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it "love" even shows up once on the engraving, unless I missed it since I can't read simplified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psylocke Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The writing is way too messy for me to read. The only words I can make out are 'wind', 'sky', 'person', 'heart', 'life'...There's actually heart and that word that were connected together in the stone thingy at the very end, unless that last word isn't the above one.Which was was that one (at the last column) after 'heart'?If it is in simplified characters, there's no 'heart' in the love character.

Oh well. Someone corrected me and said that it wasn't simplified but freehand calligraphy. It's rarely used nowadays, but still not dead. She said that it might be for Buddhism. The stone is likely a lot older than the 50's, she says, especially with the writing, which would've unlikely been encouraged during that time period. Anything intellectual related would've been shut down and the people killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
