Hello everybody,
From a Hokkien Chinese from Indonesia I have picked up a list of names/words. As I have lost contact I now am desperately looking for the meaning and/or the Chinese characters by the following words or names:
Lo Seng
Tju Tjong
Eng Tjun
...although the last one most probably is 'ying xiong', 'hero' (please correct me if I'm wrong). But any help in finding the meaning/characters of 'lo seng' and 'tju tjong' would be greatly appreciated!
About the context of these words: they are supposed to be the names of forms from the family martial art from this person/my teacher. Al these forms have longer names, e.g. 'Eng Tjun' is an abbreviation for 'eng tjun khun no mui', 'Eng Tjun (the hero?) hits the second door'.
Now of all the forms I have been able to deduct the Chinese equivalent/translation except for 'lo seng' and 'tju tjong', because the habit of not using the full name ('eng tjun khun no mui') has evolved to only using e.g. 'eng tjun'. In both cases of 'lo seng' and 'tju tjong' this has led to forgetting the full name, so now I'm left without a context. The only thing I know is that my teacher said that 'lo seng' and 'tju tjong' were names of Chinese heroes, but I have no knowledge of Hokkien folklore.
Any help in finding the meaning/characters of 'lo seng' and 'tju tjong' would be greatly appreciated!
