Promoting, Regulating, and Guiding the Subjectivity of the Inheritance of Nvshu Culture - Fieldwork on the Inheritors and the Way of Inheritance

Abstract

Nvshu has been passed down in Shang Jiang Xu, Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, and some neighboring areas, and it has been developed and spread only among women in the area. Nvshu is the only gender text in the world, uniquely female. The paper will use the methods of fieldwork, character interviews, and literature research to represent the subjectivity of the inheritance of Nvshu with various inheritors. All inheritors establish their subjectivity system of Nvshu culture to legacy. Then, the current inherence method of Nvshu is connected with the artistic aspects, so many people ignore the culture itself. As time passes, Nvshu culture is also undergoing transformational development. The Nvshu, as a tool of linguistic communication between women, has lost its original value and gradually developed into other directions, finally leaving the stage of history. In addition, this paper will analyze the current status of the inheritance of Nvshu through the historical and cultural background of Nvshu and the situation of the inheritors as a starting point. Furthermore, the paper represented some paradox of the information of Nvshu and then showed the impact of the inherence. To sum up, the paper mainly focuses on the different stories of each inheritor to reflect their different cultural subjectivities and ways of inheritance, thus contributing to the inheritance of Nvshu and prompting the culture to continue revitalizing and make more people know about the culture of Nvshu, to protect the endangered traditional culture of the ethnic group.
