A bit disappointed by the sparsity of koans on this trip to China...maybe Shandong is too provincial for this cutting-edge trend? Best I've seen over the past couple of days:

Actually the single most common text I've seen on t-shirts, besides the usual Adidas/Nike/etc, is CLAMBAKE. Today I saw LOVE & CLAMBAKE. I know people here like their shellfish but ???
