HandsInTime Posted April 2, 2012 Hello all, I recently bought a scroll wall hanging and am wondering if anyone here could help me to understand what the writing says. There is a red character in the corner, as well as a lot of background writing, and then a picture of what I imagine is a taoist sage. There is a picture of the scroll here. http://i43.tinypic.com/i6mnw5.jpg Thank you for your help, as I am quite curious about this scroll...I enjoy it either way though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
