Summary

Description
English: An example of a misread seal from cdg.pagesperso-orange.fr where the character order is misrepresented and Simplified Chinese characters are used to compare them directly to Seal Script. This image serves as a good illustration of how someone with only some knowledge of "Modern" (PRC) Chinese can misread ancient Chinese texts and scripts due to the dissimilarity between them. (Note that the author is French, not Vietnamese).
