Now you know how to read chinese

First Character = please

Second " = little... you can see a stick being broken into two smaller pieces.... pronounced: "siu"

Third = heart, pronounced "sum" ... you can see the 3 beats of the heart and the general heart shape in the larger stroke. Together with little it means "careful"... apparently the ancients knew that your heart contracts when focussing atention..

Fourth character = ? "push"?

Fifth character = door, pronounced "moon"...and obviously a pictograph of bar doors.
