Chaos
混沌 is the Japanese, Korean and Chinese word that means absolute confusion, disorder, and chaos.
This more directly refers to primal chaos or primeval chaos.
When reading something about Chinese mythology, you may find this term used to describe the formless mass before creation.
Chinese scientists sometimes use this word to refer to the nebulous state before the universe was formed or nebulosity.
In some contexts, this could mean “a state of confusion.”
Chaos / Anarchy / Confusion / Mayhem
The first character means confused, dirty, muddy, or mixed.
The second character means confusion and disorder.
Together, these characters mean chaos and sometimes extended to mean a type of anarchy.
This term is often used in a less-than-literal term to describe anything in disarray. Someone might use this word in a sentence like, “My kitchen is in a state of chaos” or “my life is so chaotic.”
Please note that Japanese use an alternate/simplified version of the second character of chaos - it also happens to be the same simplification used in mainland China. Click on the character to the right if you want the Japanese/Simplified version of this two-character chaos calligraphy.
Havoc
Peaceful Chaos
píng jìng de hùn luàn
平靜的混亂 is NOT a typical Chinese phrase.
It was added to our calligraphy database at the request of a customer. These are two dynamically-opposed ideas, but this is the way to express them together.
Stir the Chaos
jiǎo dòng hún dùn
攪動混沌 means “stir the chaos” in Mandarin Chinese.
This was added to our database at the request of a customer.
It is proper grammar and meaning but is not an ancient Chinese phrase or title.
Order From Chaos
luàn zhōng yǒu xù
亂中有序 more or less means “order from chaos” in Chinese.
This is a little ambiguous, so other ways to translate this include ordered chaos, organized mess, order within chaos, or order within disorder.
