The compound 晴雲 results in 103,00 hits in Google, whereas 清雲 gets 715,000.

The name 清云寺 temple with the water radical gets 2,710 hits in Google.
The name 青云寺 temple without any radical gets 925 hits, and
The name 晴云寺 temple with the sun radical gets no hit.

So it is either with the water radical or without.

Holy Crap !!
You guys are still discussing chinese characters ???

WTF people !!

[Lama Pai Sifu]

It is the first one - WITH the water radical. I had ten guys in Toi-San write it down for me. I would think they would know. It was also written right on the front of the temple. End of story.

Let it go and lets get back to some good talk...

ISorry to break this to you but so does 青天。Maybe 晴天 is a southern habit. Maybe extrajoseph forgot what "azure" means?

Qing Long has Qing without any radical and that can be translated as the Azure Dragon, it stands for the Pure Yang Qi, so Qing Yun Si, or the Azure Cloud Temple could also be possible, meaning a temple with pure yang qi (cloud) - the qi of enlightenment.

The picture you have on your website under "History" showing the front of the temple is "Qing Yun Si", the Qing character there has nothing to do with any of the characters we are talikng about here, it literally translated as "Celebrating the Cloud". That makes sense, celebrating or rejoicing in the Qi. Same sound, but with a completely different character and meaning to "clear" or "green" cloud.

that is a different temple, that is the one Sing Lung was in, the one CTS was raised in is in the area, but different, got it?

Oh, I went back and looked, we never updated that site (MY FAULT )... the site is relatively new, but the text dates back to circa 1992... back then we thought it was "Green", we even thought it was the same monastery... we learned a lot since then

What is the Chinese character for Jyu Chyuhn? If he studied with Chan Koon Pak, then there would be a written record of him.

Only problem, it may be an "alias" (PM me if you want details)

[omarthefish]

It was the name of a monastery/Temple, which just happened to have a lot of martial arts people hanging around it....

It is defintely "cloud" 雲

the initial problem was, the first time we saw Sifu write the character, it was with a spear point in the dirt in the park, we missed the water radical I guess

I wrote it with "cloud". I was talking about the choices for "qing".

The name 清云寺 temple with the water radical gets 2,710 hits in Google.
The name 青云寺 temple without any radical gets 925 hits, and
The name 晴云寺 temple with the sun radical gets no hit.

So it is either with the water radical or without.

See. I knew that the one with the sun radical just looked "wrong".
