Chapter 826: Reading the Mother Text

Since then, there has always been a temple of the imperial concubine on the Du Pang Ridge on the bank of the Fengzu River, and what is placed in this temple is the travel record of the imperial concubine written by the female concubine, and at the same time, she wrote eighteen volumes of the female book on the way to the north, recording the women's customs, etiquette, social and historical knowledge, production and life skills and moral cultivation on it.

Originally, this was just a temple dedicated to the imperial concubine, but as Nüshu became more and more popular, many women in Yongming County would come to take away Nüshu scrolls, or learn Nüshu or transcribe it, but completely popularized Nüshu in Yongming.

"Since the Song Dynasty, any woman in Yongming County can use female writing fluently, and such words are naturally private compared to men's books, and have become a secret text used by women to record their hearts and communicate with each other." After speaking, Mrs. Jin's thoughts returned to the present: "Speaking of which, when the Taiping Army was in turmoil, the bandit leader Hong Tianwang robbed a lot of women in Yongming County to be his bullshit concubine, in fact, he just wanted to envelop women and use women's books to deliver news to him. ”

"Didn't the Taiping Army also do some good things in Yongming?" Song Siyuan asked, he remembered that these people in Yongming County were very willing to help the Taiping Army, after all, they were oppressed by the government for so much money, maybe they were looking forward to this day.

Mrs. Hu's eyes seemed to be angry, and she waved her hand and said: "Girl, people can pretend, when the Taiping Army first occupied it, it was indeed stabilizing the order, but after a long time, it will show its true face, you think about the fact that King Hong Tianwang has just conquered a few counties, and he dares to set up a concubine to ascend the throne and claim the king, relying on nothing more than these unprovoked people." ”

"The concubines of Yongming County are wrong about them, so they mistakenly believe that they are the masters of the people, in fact, they are just a group of bandits under the banner of helping the world and saving the people, and after crossing Yongming, what they left to the county is a mess that has been eaten and wiped clean, and then it was targeted by the government, which is another disaster of the Taiping Army." Speaking of this, Mrs. Hu had some tears in her eyes: "Back then, my sister was arrested to be a concubine, and when these thousands of knives left, the government sank my sister into the pond. It seems that Mrs. Hu still can't let go of this point, and now she is extremely sad when she thinks about it, but the time is too long, and even the previous dynasty is gone, she doesn't even know who to look for revenge, so she picked up a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Look at me, people are old and lack of energy, where have I gone, these things you see are taken by General Jin from Hu Niangniang's relics!" ”

"You mean, there are many more such pamphlets?" Song Siyuan thought that this was some kind of unique treasure, but listening to Mrs. Hu's words, it was probably one of the funeral goods of Concubine Hu.

Mrs. Hu nodded and said: "Yes, this kind of funeral coupon, there are many booklets of the same type, almost all of them were sent to the tomb of the imperial concubine, back then, after the general of the Jin State asked someone to read the female book, he found that the book contained the secret of the Northern Clan, in order to keep this secret, he took out this book of Xuanshu, and since then this book has disappeared, I didn't expect that the old body could still meet the Hu family book thousands of years ago." ”

"Then, now can you help us see what is written in this book?" Song Siyuan's words can be regarded as asking the old lady, Mrs. Hu looked at the photo, her eyes were obviously a little problematic, she shook her head and said: "A thousand years have passed, and the Nüshu is also being updated, this Nüshu is actually a deformation of Chinese characters, I don't know how many new words have been added, the content of the Nüshu is mostly catchy rhythm, and there are many allusions quoted to cover up the real meaning. ”

"Even if it was written by the same person, decades later, she herself may have no idea what it means." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Hu's eyes became mysterious: "Think about it, thousands of years have passed, and the Nüshu has been updated so much, how easy it is to read the Nüshu a thousand years ago, some words I actually don't recognize anymore, if you want to read it, you have to find the Nünbook." ”

"Reading the Female Book?" When everyone heard this unfamiliar term, they became curious. Mrs. Hu nodded and said: "Yes, Nüshu can be passed down to the present, not because it is an unfathomable language, but because the old society did not allow women to read and write. ”

"Every hundred years, under the control of Mr. Nu, Nüshu will do a reading of all the Nüshu characters that appear, which can be regarded as correlating the specific words with the patterns of Nüshu, so that no woman will see it and not know it at all, and it can also prevent Nüshu works from being lost in the world."

"Then, are you still reading the female book for thousands of years?" Song Siyuan thought to herself that if she could read the women's books against the millennium, she might really be able to understand the women's books above.

"Hey!" Mrs. Hu shook her head, her face was quite regretful: "When the people were in chaos, these Taiping soldiers looted the Hu family, and in order to continue to pass on the news secretly, they took away all the female books. ”

"Then, now the Hu family doesn't have a copy?" Mrs. Hu nodded and said: "Indeed, back then, my Hu family saw clearly that the Taiping Army did not help the abuse, and the government only called my sister Fufa, and the brothers in the family were killed, so they could only let me hold up the court. She changed her words: "Nowadays, there are really few people who can know Nüshu, my old woman is still one, and when I am a hundred years later, most of this Nüshu will be completely swept into the pile of old papers." Song Siyuan listened to Mrs. Hu's words, according to her meaning, even she couldn't completely interpret the words of these nüshu, and the nüshu had been lost, and it became more difficult to interpret the information from the mystical book.

"So, is there any other place where there is a female book of exegesis? The Hu family shouldn't have only one copy of this thing, right? Song Siyuan's words were woken up by Mrs. Hu, she thought for a moment and continued: "If you want to mention this, I remember, I remember that my father said that when Concubine Hu was alive, she personally wrote the female book of training, although there were relatively few standard texts in the female book of training and reading back then, but these mysterious writings can probably be interpreted with the female book of training." ”

"So, where is this female book?" Mrs. Hu coughed a few times: "Buried, it was buried in the tomb of the imperial concubine during the Song Dynasty!" ”……
