Its character structure, pronunciation and other aspects are very unique, which is the only discovery in the world. Archaeologists and philologists have studied that from the unique characters of Nvshu, there are a series of bird bodies or parts of bird bodies, which indicate the cultural relics of bird totem in the composition of characters; there are also a series of characters which outline the image of different growth stages of rice, rice as agricultural tools and rice food combinations. According to the etymology, "Shennong family has a danque named jiusuihe, and the emperor picked it up when it fell to the ground.". Danque is vermilion, jiusuihe is rice. In 1995, Hunan Archaeology Institute excavated 12000 year old cultivated rice in yuchanyan area, Daoxian County, which just shows that Shennong lived in yuxuyan area, Daoxian County, Yongzhou. At the same time, it fully proves that the characters of Nvshu retain obvious bird totem worship and Primitive Rice cultural relics of Shennong in yuchanyan area, thus inferring that Nvshu is the culture of primitive matriarchal society and the earliest writing in the world Source is one of the forms of world culture.
