Chinese Rainbow Calligraphy is an
ancient art form that dates back at least 2,000 years. We will translate your
'English' (or 'Western') first name into its equivalent in Chinese, and then
have it skilfully painted by a Calligraphy master.
Instead of painting the characters in the classic Chinese way, the brush strokes
are painted in an array of vibrant colours, using specially made brushes. The
combination of strokes are made to resemble certain types of Chinese symbols
where each symbol has its own unique meaning. For example, a Dragon=Power, a
Phoenix=Nobility and a Bird=Happiness. The symbols used for your name are very
much influenced by the original stroke patterns of your name in its black &
white format.

Each name has its own combination of symbols, thereby reflecting an individual
personality. A name may have 2 larger or 3 smaller Chinese characters.
