Question

【题目】It’s known that Chinese women in the past weren't given the right to receive a form education. But this doesn’t mean that they made no efforts to learn. One of the proofs is Nushu—literally meaning “female script”(女性书法)一a written language that was used by women in Jiangyong county, Hunan province.

This script was only used by women. It was developed from written Chinese. Hundreds of years ago, Nushu was taught at home by elderly women to girls. And during gatherings in villages women would use it to write poems to express the emotions they were hiding from men.People often regard the characters as symbols of some secret cults(邪教）”. But the fact is that many old poems written in Nushu talked about the women's difficulties in life and how they made it through hardship . The words were full of encouragement and positive energy.

After women got the right to attend school，Nushu gradually lost its functionality(功 能）. But the spirit of Nushu is still important and meaningful for our society in modern times. Zhao Liming, a professor at Tsinghua University, started a project to keep Nushu alive because she was worried that this ancient culture will soon disappear. One of the project’s recent achievements is an app designed by Talkmate, to teach Nushu to more people. The app has been showed to people in September during the first Beijing International Language & Culture Expo. Zhao expects the app to present a true image of Nushu to the public in order that more people will be interested in Nushu.
