Old style of Chinese letter-writing

Post by Mark Yong »

I have two questions about the old style of Chinese letter-writing:

1. What does the opening phrase "大鑒" mean? Is it the same as "台鑒" (which I understand to be the more common opening phrase)?

2. What does the closing phrase "叩上" mean?

PS. I got these off a letter written by a distant uncle to my grandparents about 55 years ago.
