In 1839, the Emperor of China, Lin-Tse-Hsu wrote a letter to Victoria describing misconceptions the Chinese held about the west. He cites while the Chinese admire the British on many levels, it must be understood there are also bad British who are attempting to corrupt his people with opium. The Chinese harbored two main fallacies about the British people. One was that all British people had a â??high and noble heartâ?? and second, that opium was not a widespread problem in Britain.

What does a Chinese letter tattoo mean?

a Chinese letter tatoo is usually symbolic of a phrase or saying such as: Peace, love, happiness, strength, warrior, kindness and so on. It has exactly the same meaning as the Chinese letter itself, strangely enough. However it very often doesn't mean what the wearer thinks it means, because the artist probably got it out of a book, possibly transposed it and more likely than not has no particular understanding of Chinese. I've upset plenty of people by disabusing them of the meaning they think their Chinese letter tattoo has. But at the end of the day, having a tattoo is cool. If it means something different than you thought or intended, or means nothing decipherable, who cares... it's all good fun if you've got a sense of humour.
