It means good fortune and is pronounced zhǐ.

Thanks

Can you read this one...










Myriam -

生現 shēng xiàn : I would translate it as "Carpe Diem", Live in the present, Seize the day

生命 shēng mìng, life
現在 xiàn zài, present, now

By typing "shengxian" with the pinyin input the first result I get is 聖賢.










Lu -

I'm not sure if 生現 is correct Chinese. I think not, I don't recall ever seeing this
word/expression. Best wait for the opinion of a native speaker.










...DJKT... -

I was told it meant "To Live For Today" would that be correct?










karen -

Lu is right. Sorry to say that these 2 characters are not used together as a word. But still you
can read and interpret them seperately. Both have good meanings as explained in posts above.










Myriam -

I can't believe there's no word for "To Live For Today" in Chinese philosophy.

NB : If you decide to tatoo your body with this phrase in Chinese, I won't feel responsible for
it! I just want to know how to say Carpe Diem in Chinese.










skylee -

For "to live for today", consider "活在當下".










liuzhou -

Carpe Diem
