Looking at the familiar through different lenses: Chinese banners
Someone sent me this set of “揮春” (Auspicious Messages) written in English which looks like Chinese characters. I thought it was brilliant. Instead of aligning alphabets in a straight line, Chinese strokes are stacked on each other. Talk about complication for the dyslexic.
The way to teach Mandarin words is to break up the character or enlarge it. I think it looks like Hebrew. Look at the character for “each”, does it remind you of Robert Indiana’s “LOVE”?

Q: Can you guess what it reads?
Ans:
On the right hand side
Eat well sleep well each every day
On the left hand side
Good health good wealth all year round
