2023 is Year of Rabbit.
The Chinese characters in the artwork above:
1, Shell bone script of Rabbit
2, Big seal script of Rabbit
Both lines in the artwork mean the same but in different scripts:
Rabbit, Rabbit Rabbit, You Rabbit, Me Rabbit.
The pronunciation of character Rabbit is Tu4, exactly same as Two or Too. It is the only one by my knowledge of Chinese character pronounced exactly same as some English words. So we can pronounce the sentence as
Tu, TuTu, You Tu, Me Tu, here Tu is Rabbit.
The inspiration of this sentence is from when I watched my wife holding our son in 1999, a year of rabbit. My wife was born in year of rabbit, she and my son are both belong to Rabbit. therefore, I wrote
Rabbit, Rabbit Rabbit, You Rabbit, Me Rabbit.
Sounds like they are talking each other.
The sentence could be read like the following too
Tu, TuTu, You too, Me too.
or
Tu, Two Tu, You Tu, Me Tu (Rabbit, Two Rabbit, You Rabbit, Me Rabbit)
Anyway, in this sentence, we have 5 words pronounced Tu4 = Two, or Too. It is very meaningful and unique.
The sentence could be consider as a half of Chinese couplet, we could find an another half to match. So far, not very good match yet. The closest is the following:
Dog, Dog Dog, Big Dog, Small Dog.
You may try to get better one.
