Hi. I’m leaving a message for a Metafilter member whose page you link to—I don’t have a Metafilter account, so I can’t write them an email, and I don’t know your email, so here we are in the comment box. Could you pass this on to klue, please, or post it in the green? He or she posted some Chinese plates from the 1950s or 60s with writing on them. The writing is Classical Chinese, and the text is called the “Record of the Storeroom of the Five Classics” (characters: 五经萃室记, pinyin: wu jing cui shi ji). It’s from, I think, 1783, which is the Qing dynasty (not the plate, the text). I don’t have a lot of time and my classical Chinese isn’t so hot, but it starts something like “Although a matter is large, it has no relationship to the order of heaven; those who have righted their hearts cannot plumb its patterns. Although a matter is small, it has a relationship to the order of heaven; those who have righted their hearts cannot claim it to have no pattern and cannot fail to record it.” It’s quite a long text and I’d have to put in some time to get the whole gist, but it seems from a baidu search to show up mainly on high-quality antiques, usually inscribed in gold, often on furniture or bookshelves.
Sorry—been lurking a long time and haven’t seen a question go unanswered yet, so I thought I had the responsibility to pitch in if I could. IANADCP (I am not a dead Chinese person), so there may be mistakes in the above!
Hi nad
Well it’s a long way around to get a message to someone in Norway via Japan (^_^)!
I’ve passed your message onto him.
