我们是谁
Who We Are

澳大利亚女书文化研究协会

Australian Nüshu Culture and Research Association (ANCRA)

澳大利亚女书文化研究协会(ANCRA)是中国境外首个致力于女书文化保护、研究与传播的非营利型文化研究机构。协会以推动女书文化的国际传播与活态传承为使命,致力于将这一珍贵的中国女性文化遗产带入更广阔的跨文化语境之中。 ANCRA is the first non-governmental organisation outside China dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Nüshu culture. Our mission is to carry this precious heritage of Chinese women's culture beyond its local roots and into a wider cross-cultural context, sustaining it as a living tradition.

我们希望通过文化沙龙、艺术展览、工作坊等多元形式,让更多人跨越国界,了解女书、学习女书、爱上女书。 Through cultural salons, art exhibitions, workshops and more, we want to create a space where people across genders and borders can discover Nüshu, learn it, and fall in love with it.

女书属于过去,也属于当下。它让曾被忽略的声音被听见,也邀请新一代以文化传承与创造,写下属于自己的语言。 Nüshu belongs to the past, and to the present. It gives voice to those who were once overlooked, and invites a new generation to write their own language, through cultural inheritance and creation.

姊妹情谊的传承
A Legacy of Sisterhood

女书是湖南江永独有的女性非遗文字,承载着千年女性的情感与社群文化。
Nüshu is a women's script unique to Jiangyong in Hunan, carrying a millennium of women's emotion and community life.

写在边缘
Written in the Margins

在女性被排除于正规教育之外的年代,女书在结拜姊妹之间口耳相传、私下书写,成为她们记录诗歌、自传与慰藉之词的方式。

In an era when women were denied formal education, Nüshu was passed between sworn sisters — a way to record poetry, autobiography and words of consolation.

活着的传统
A Living Tradition

女书不只被观看和书写,也以歌声、记忆与身体经验的方式被学习和传承,至今仍在吟唱中延续。

Nüshu is not only read and written; it is learned and transmitted through song, memory and embodied practice — a living vocal heritage.

在新的土地上
Carried Onto New Soil

今天,我们希望让这一珍贵文化遗产跨越语言、地域与时代的边界,在新的土地上继续被书写、被理解、被分享。

Today we hope to carry this heritage beyond the boundaries of language, geography and time, so it continues to be written, understood and shared on new soil.
