Door2

This family is surely better off than yesterdays and the couplet on the doors is very poetic – but I am not going to translate it.

[Hope D Jennings]

This is so beautiful!

[livvy]

Beautiful!

[Graeme Stevens]

Amazing

[Osia Strasner]

Definitely more affluent!! Nice entry! What purpose do the openings at the bottom of the door serve?

[Yao RL]

@panthora I did not even notice it. May be judge the visitors by the shoes - haha

[Rob]

A lovely image!

[Lindy]

Nice door. Lovely tones.

[Nancy]

Wonderful detailed door

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture of this lovely doorway.

[tingliu]

这个门很有中国胡同门的代表性

[Yao RL]

@liuting I know that you are going to kill me if I post another door from the slum.

[Cheri]

Lovely door

[Margaret Obey]

This door is fabulous

[gloria jones]

Neat door, lighting.

[Kathie]

So different from yesterday's door. Each door looks very narrow - thin people? Why not translate?

[Ksenia]

I like the play of light and shadows! Very beautiful pattern of Chinese culture.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Lovely patterns, you now make me curious for the words. I could ask my sister in law, she's from Beijing :-)

[Paula McLaughlin]

Beautiful doors with the lovely calligraphy brushed on the doors--fabulous photo! Fav!

[Yao RL]

@overalvandaan I would love to know her translation as it is far to sophysticated for me. @kathiecb would love to know it too.

[Kathie]

@yaorenliu @overalvandaan I thought you weren't translating because it's rude. Guess not.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Such an interesting door- and so artistic to have a poem printed on it. Are the pieces on the side sculptures?

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Diulian, Chinese couplets.

Right column: in a lucky good day kind of plant is blessing the large house

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Left column:the spring wind blowing at another kind of tree and bring the raise the reputation of the family.

Sorry, my little boys is sitting on my lap trying to type with me

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Tree and plant my sister in law didn't know the exact name for it.

[Yao RL]

@overalvandaan @kathiecb These translations are making so much sense. Thank you and your sister in law.

[Kathie]

@yaorenliu Fascinating. So poetic. Better than "welcome"

[hueymilunz]

beautiful!
