Paper short abstract:

参观陕西师范大学妇女文化博物馆:一些看法 2011年本人赴西安参加学术会议。主办当局安排参观了该博物馆,我留下了深刻的印象。在马来西亚,还没有类似的妇女博物馆,在此,我只能以海外华人的身份提出三点拙见:(1)多与国际、外界交流,并加强宣传,让海内外都知道文物馆的存在(2)文物馆的文物以及规模很有限,是否可向民间募捐妇女文物以丰富馆藏,这一点校方或可以与官方以及民间合作(3)可以定时举办研讨会或小型座谈会,集思广益,让文物馆能办得更为出色。

Paper long abstract:

During a visit to the Women's Cultural Museum of the Shaanxi Normal University in October 2011, I was impressed with Nüshu, the syllabic script used exclusively by women in part of Hunan province of southern China. As an overseas Chinese from Malaysia where there are no such museums, I have three points to share: 1) To make its presence known, the museum can engage in academic exchanges with and promotions for research to the rest of the world. 2) As the museum is limited to its collection of women's exhibits in a small scale, the Shaanxi Normal University can work with the government and society and ask for donations of women's artifacts. 3) Regular organization of seminars, forums or conferences can provide a channel for ideas and a stepping stone for making the museum a unique place for understanding women's culture in China.

Keywords:

Women's Cultural Museum, Nüshu, women's artifacts, women's culture.
