you don't need to know that.
it may be ancient word.
most of chinese people don't know its meaning.

there are 4 characters, separately 唯, 善, 呈, 和
look at the 口 in all the four characters,
1st ---------lift side
2nd --------below
3rd --------upper
4th --------right side
so the calligrapher wrote this four characters in this form:
善
和 唯
呈
but he just wrote ONLY ONE "口" in the center.
唯善呈和(wei shan cheng he) means be welldoing and peace in english.
btw, this photo was taken at fengdu, chongqing, more details here
