Posted By: Bill H Tue, Mar 20, 2018 The writing on the lantern starts with three characters, which look to read right to left as 光祿寺 (Guang lu si) - "A light of good fortune from the government office". The writing then reads down in the vertical stack as 署正加四級 (Shu zheng jia si ji) - "The bureau has arranged an increase to fourth class". As usual, I invite corrections to my reading here. |
