Light, Literature, Catches Dragon



The first character could be , but I doubt it. The second character is . I have no idea what the third character is. The last one could be .

= light, brilliant, shine; only
= literature, culture, writing
= catch, arrest; shoot with bow

I have no idea what the phrase means, anyone else?

The first character looked like a messed up version of 気 (ki) in Japanese to me at first glance, but unpon closer inspection, I agree that it does look a bit more like 光.

The third character looks like it might be a mirror image of with a lot of elements missing, or perhaps , again with many things missing.

Might the third and fourth together make a Japanese word?

Could the third be a FLIPPED and poorly written kanji version of 厉 (厲)?

The 2nd looks more like to me...

Maybe the 3rd is a really botched 札 ?

My Chinese co-worker looked at it and said "It's not Chinese."

If you kind of superimposed the broken first and third characters it might become a 氣...
Considering the background image, I'm inclined to thing that the fourth character was actually a miserably failed attempt at the PRC simplified version of 龍(龙).

I agree with Collin on the 文/女 issue. Given the general poor quality of the calligraphy it seems reasonable to assume that the cross-bar stroke was deliberately made to look like it was "above" the rest of the character (since it is meant to be the last written)...
