you don't need to know that.
it may be ancient word.
most of chinese people don't know its meaning.

there are 4 characters, separately 唯, 善, 呈, 和
look at the 口 in all the four characters,
1st ---------lift side
2nd --------below
3rd --------upper
4th --------right side

so the calligrapher wrote this four characters in this form:

善
和唯
呈
but he just wrote ONLY ONE "口" in the center.

唯善呈和(wei shan cheng he) means be welldoing and peace in english.
