Its early history is uncertain: some manuscripts are dated to late Ming or early Qing; the earliest widely cited artifact is a Taiping-era coin (1851–1864), and documentary evidence includes a 1933 survey. In the nineteenth century, women used Nüshu for sister letters, biographies, songs, and wedding books. By 29 January 2025, local and national authorities were working to revive it as heritage.
