Nvshu (women's writing) is the only existent gender script to be found in China. It originated in Song Dynasty (960-1279) and is passed on from the older generation of the family, via private schools, getang (singing), or self-study. In areas where Nvshu is popular, almost every local woman knows how to sing Nvshu songs, so self-study is very easy. However, no matter by which means, Nvshu is handed down exclusively by women. Jiading's Guyi Garden will put on an exhibition of this cultural legacy from Jan 1.
