Looking at the spiritual world of ancient women from Jiang Yong's Nu Shu

Looking at the spiritual world of ancient women from Jiang Yong's Nu Shu

If no one wants me to read, I will create my own writing. Jiangyong Nushu is a writing created by women and exclusively for women. It is only circulated in Jiangyong, Shangjianghao Town, and is the only existing gender-based writing in the world. In that era when men were superior to women, they used tree branches as pens and pot ashes as ink to become their own Cangjie
There is a custom of burning Nüshu books after death, so there are very few original copies that have been handed down. In addition, it is not profitable to pass down women's books to men. Young people have gone out, so it is difficult to pass them on now. The youngest Nüshu inheritor is Hu Xin, but She was already the youngest inheritor ten years ago.
