    Ya, but as you browse through the end of this forum you see a Chinese language forum. You can even see my Mandarin translations from English.

    Hi heartfelty. Do you know that the Chinese have two writing systems.
    В поисках интересненького на уз-трансляторе наткнулась на книжку про 女书 (нюй-шу) - женское письмо, которое использовалось женщинами народа яо, потому что учить 男书 (нань-шу) - “мужское письмо” (обычные иероглифы), им запрещали.
    Наверно, только в Китае с их потрясающим трудолюбием и любовью к письменности могло такое быть - секретная письменность, не имеющая политических или религиозных целей. Матери и сестры втайне обучали письменности неграмотных младшеньких, а чтобы мужчины ничего не просекли - письменность маскировалась под орнаменты. Письменность и правда получилась очень красивая, похожая на те вышивки, в которые ее вплетали.
    Maybe now thou shalt not waste time searching for women to study Chinese.
    I am a published English poet
    отправь мне пожалуйста парочку своих произведений.
