Master's Hall with signboard above the
door. It reads from right to left:
Zu Shi Dian, in traditional characters.
Chinese is traditionally written from top
to bottom in text. If it is a sign, like this
example, it is usually written from right to
left.
In mainland China, simplfied characters
are usually used, and they are written
from left to right, both in text and in sign
works, but in reconstruction projects, the
traditional is commonly used again.
