Anybody Know Chinese (Mandrin I think)?

[Hideous_Hog]

I have a art print that has 2 Chinese symbols. It was explained by an American (?) that the symbols stood for "danger" and "opportunity". Months later I was visited by a Chinese national who was suprised by the artwork. He asked me "do you know what it means"? I told him of the interpretation I heard, and he laughed and said that I was maybe 90% correct. It appeared that there was some deeper philosophical meaning that he felt I wouldn't understand.

Anyway,

I was wondering if anyone had an idea what the real meaning was, and if I can somehow get a .BMP of the symbols for transference to an Autocad file. Using Autocad, I want to machine the symbols onto metal (thats a long story).

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Why don't you post a picture of the symbols.

There are quite a few people here that can read Mandrin, if I remember correctly. I'm not one of them.

Chinese is Chinese, you won't have "Mandrin" or "Cantonese" on a writting. We discussed this already yesterday.
