| | Nü Shu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although Nü Shu has existed for centuries, it was not known to the outside world until recently, with a report to the central government in 1983, due to the intense secrecy regarding the script. | | | At present no one living learned Nü Shu from her mother or sworn sisters, though there are a few scholars who learned it from the last of the women who did. | | | Until recently, women in Hunan were discouraged from learning Nan Shu "men's writing", that is, the Chinese written language. |

| | Snow Flower and the Secret Fan |
| | Secluded from age 7 until death, "married out" into a husband's family, where they remained abject in stature and subservient to their husband's mother unless they had sons, women were isolated from anyone who cared about them personally. | | | The two girls, who are separated by thousands of miles and vastly different cultural assumptions, are brought together by a diviner, a kind of matchmaker who sees in Snow Flower and Lily the possibility of a laotong, a rare conjoining of two kindred souls that lasts a lifetime. | | | Through See's careful, detailed descriptions of life in a remote 19th-century Chinese village, we experience a world where women spend their days in upstairs chambers, kowtowing to elders, serving tea and communicating in nu shu. |

| | Snow Flower and the Secret Fan |
| | To truly understand the nu shu women I needed to see what remained of their culture, walk the alleyways of their villages, and try to meet the last surviving original practitioner of the language. | | | During the last half of the twentieth century, nu shu nearly became extinct as the primary reasons that women used it disappeared. | | | That secret language is called nu shu —women's writing—and I first came across a brief mention of it when I wrote a review of Wang Ping's Aching for Beauty for the Los Angeles Times. |

| | This seems especially so with Nu Shu - it was already an inherently exclusive language, and served as a sexual-cultural dividing line. | | | Studying their language preserves an important part of China's history, and also shines light on a movement that persisted simply because women wanted to say *something* and be heard by others. | | | If it were clearly a question of enabling or empowering people to continue with Nu Shu, I think we'd all agree - but how is it going to be 'retained' in practice? |

| | In the past, sworn sisters exchanged elaborately scripted books and letters, sometimes written along the thin crevices of fans, often as gestures of support for a new marriage. | | | "Some scholars said htat for it to be w aritten language, it would have to be used by all members of society.; Since Nu Shu was used only by women, it could not fit this definition." | | | In the one-hour film, Gong Zhe-Bing, a professor at Wu-Han University, says that when he presented findings in 1982 suggesting Nu Shu was a written language, his claims were laughed off. |
