<p>Does anyone recognize the characters written here? I've tried to figure it out but still can't understand what is written there, since I've just recognized the rightmost character, 天. It's a carving in my grandfather's house.</p>

<h2>UPDATE</h2>

<ol>
<li>The 1st character: 敘 | 叙 (xù) </li>
<li>The 2nd character: 樂 | 乐 (lè)</li>
<li>The 3rd character: 倫 | 伦 (lún)</li>
<li>The 4th character: 天 (tiān)</li>
</ol>

<p>I've tried to show it to my 老师, who comes from the Guangdong province, and she said that the characters are read from right to left (since it is the old way of writing on carvings), and she has guessing the meaning of that sentence is (if I remember correctly): <strong>"All generations of this family will always be happy"</strong>.</p>

Does anyone recognize the characters written here? I've tried to figure it out but still can't understand what is written there, since I've just recognized the rightmost character, 天. It's a carving in my grandfather's house.
