Makes you wonder how many westerners with aesthetically beautiful Chinese characters tattooed on the napes of their necks actually know for sure what they mean.

AND, those tattooes are permanent!!

Not with modern laser removal. But your point is well taken.

Actually I have two chinese rice papers in frames in my dining room, I recently discovered that are something like 'good luck and wealthy and long life...to the host...the house...the guest, etc.' Before knowing it I speculated with my wife about the meaning, it was more fun then 'good luck to the house'.

I'm still having trouble understanding how this would happen to be in their possession unless someone made a recent trip and had it thrust into their hands. But this "German sinologist," does he actually read Chinese -- or is he just a faker that being caught out now? I mean it doesn't sound like there was anything subtle that only was apparent as a hidden meaning that only a native speaker would know.
