Main story

According to the description of the northern folk song Mulan Ci (written after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang and polished by scholars in Sui and Tang Dynasties), this paper discusses the historical age of Mulan.

At present, there are two main folk sayings:

The first statement is:

During the Taizu period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Hua Mulan joined the army as her father and participated in the battle of breaking Rouran in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Mulan participated in the Northern Wei Dynasty's battle of attacking the desert and cutting the desert for many times, with outstanding performance. No one found out that she was a woman. The court wanted to make her a business, but she politely declined.

The second statement is:

During the reign of Emperor Gong of Sui Dynasty in Yining, the Turks invaded the frontier, and Mulan disguised herself as a man and joined the army instead of her father. She fought in the battlefield for many years and made many meritorious deeds. ("Mulan Ci" is a folk song recognized by the Northern Dynasties, which lacks close relationship with the Sui Dynasty. This statement at the end of Sui Dynasty conflicts with the full text in many places, but I don't know why it spread. )

In the Tang Dynasty, Mulan was posthumously named "General Filial Piety" and was commemorated in a shrine.

Hua Mulan's deeds have been handed down to this day, mainly due to the swan song of the northern folk song Mulan Ci. This is a long narrative poem compiled by Guo Maoqian in Song Dynasty, praising the legendary story of Mulan disguised as a man and joined the army as her father.

Edit the comments on this Mulan poem.

Mulan lived in the early Northern Wei Dynasty and was founded by the Tuoba Department of Xianbei nationality. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Mulan was made acting king, and was later destroyed by Fu Jian. Fu Jian was defeated in the Battle of Feishui, and Tuoba GUI restored the country and renamed it "Wei". After 50 or 60 years of war, the "five wild flowers" ended and the Yellow River Basin was unified.

At this time, the nomadic people in the north, who had been founded for more than a hundred years, were crawling, that is, invading the south limply. The regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty repeatedly "drove away from the host country and headed for Montenegro" and "traveled three thousand miles north to Yanran Mountain" and fought with Rouran. Hua Mulan

War produces heroes. If there is no hero in the world, there will be a heroine. There were no outstanding men in the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran War, but there was an outstanding heroine, Mulan.

At the beginning of Mulan Poetry, the military emergency at that time was explained: "Khan ordered more troops" and "Twelve Books on Military Affairs", in which Khan was the Northern Wei Dynasty Wutai Emperor Tuoba Tao.

Xianbei people were all military families in that period. In Mulan's family, she has a younger brother besides her elderly parents. How can her elderly father go on an expedition to kill the enemy? However, the call of the motherland is obligatory. Faced with this double test, Mulan stepped forward: "I am willing to be a pommel horse, and I will sign for you from now on."

Hua Mulan is a good daughter. Her willingness to join the army instead of her father is actually the condensation of her love for her father and her loyalty to the motherland, and it is the expression of her true nature as a heroine.

Mulan is about to go out. She "buys horses in the East City, saddles in the West City, reins in the South City and whips in the North City." How anxious and nervous it was, and how high her morale was. She said goodbye to her parents in the morning and spent the night on the banks of the Yellow River. How urgent the March is, how nervous the military situation is, and the military orders are like mountains. As a young girl, she left the boudoir and went to the battlefield. Why not go to another world? In the twilight, a female soldier is waiting for her pillow. What a desolate and miserable state this is. "The Yellow River is splashed with water." "Hu Qiming chirps in Yanshan Mountain."

"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years." It can be seen that wars are frequent and the years are long. It is not easy for Hua Mulan to come back alive with so many general butterfly blood.

Mulan came back, which was not easy. She pays more attention to the value of life and knows the warmth of family. She refused the reward of the son of heaven and didn't want to be an official in the DPRK, leaving her wealth behind. She is willing to go to Wan Li and return to her hometown as soon as possible.

She came back, and her elderly parents helped her out to meet her. My sister made up to welcome me, and my brother sharpened his knife to meet my sister's return with practical actions. Seeing all this, Mulan was sincerely happy. It is difficult to risk your life on the battlefield for twelve years. It's hard not to show a trace of twelve years' disguise, but it's all over, and how great Hua Mulan's inner spiritual strength should be.

After the days calmed down, her former friends came to see her again. She always pretends to regard them as her own daughters. Hua Mulan said to her frightened former friends in her heart, Do you know? In the past, I fought bloody battles with you and made great contributions; I am a girl who doesn't want to be Shang after returning to China.

Edit this passage about Mulan's hometown.

(There are different opinions. In order to avoid changes, they are all listed now. )

First, Mulan's hometown is in Yingguo Town, Yucheng County, with Mulan Temple as evidence. On the Beijing-Kowloon Line, there is a Yucheng Mulan Station, and not far away is Mulan Temple, which is the former residence of Mulan in Sui Dynasty. The temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and covers an area of 72,000 square meters. From south to north, there are more than 100 rooms, including the gate, the main hall, the memorial hall, the back building and the courtyard. In the corridor of the gate, there are tall war horses and Mulan; In the main hall, there is a statue of Mulan in uniform, with guards on both sides; In the back building, there is a statue of Mulan girl and the whole family's lovesickness. Inside and outside the temple, there are more than ten kinds of inscriptions such as words, poems, paintings and calligraphy praised by officials and celebrities in past dynasties. For example, Du Mushi in the Tang Dynasty said, "As a man who is leaning on a bow, I once had a thrush dream. After much consideration, I returned the wine, and the Buddha clouds piled up to wish Princess Ming. " Unfortunately, the original temple was destroyed by a war in 1943. Rebuilt in recent years, there are still well-preserved Qing Dynasty monuments.

Second, Mulan's home is in Bozhou, and the site is still there. "Biography of Bozhou Women Heroes" contains: Mulan, surnamed Wei, was born in Dongwei Village (now Weiyuan Village, Bozhou) in the Western Han Dynasty. Weiyuan Village is an ordinary village in Huaibei. Mulan, about 5 meters high, went out to make statues, adding infinite glory to her hometown. Villagers refer to Mulan's former residence behind the village, and the tomb still exists. Around the tomb, surrounded by pine forests, bamboo forests and flowers in spring are spectacular. "Records of Bozhou in Guangxu" contains: Mulan ancestral hall is outside the customs, and it is said that it is the home of Mulan. The temple has been destroyed and the site is still there.

Third, Mulan is from Huangpi, and Mulan Mountain is her home. Mulan Mountain is 30 kilometers north of Huangpi City, with an altitude of more than 600 meters. It has green peaks, beautiful scenery and many historical sites. Legend has it that Zhu Mulan, a woman disguised as a man, took over from here on behalf of her father and made meritorious service for General Mulan. She disobeyed Lu Chao, disarmed, returned to the battlefield, restored her red dress, and served her relatives to the end. In the past dynasties, Mulan was sacrificed in the mountains, Mulan Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, Mulan Palace was built in the Ming Dynasty, and Mulan Hall was built later. At present, Mulan Temple is on the precipice, with Zhu Zhu and Qing Wa, and the four characters of "loyalty, filial piety and courage" are engraved on the door of the temple. There is a gilded statue of Mulan in the temple, a handsome SHEN WOO, male and female. On both sides of the gables are painted colorful murals of Mulan's stories, such as "Climbing to the Top to Seek Heirs", "Linjiang Martial Arts", "Going out on behalf of my father" and "Returning in triumph", which are lifelike.

Fourth, Mulan is buried in Yan 'an, and there are scenic spots in the holy land. Mulan lives in Huayuantou Village, Wanhua Township, south of Yan 'an. Her surname is Hua, and she comes from the Northern Wei Dynasty. After his death, he was buried in the mountain next to the village, named "huajialing". The emperor also sent a funeral procession. There are stone steps under the tomb, and there are stone men, stone horses, stone lions and stone sheep on both sides. 1984, Mulan Cemetery in Wanhuashan, Yan 'an was restored. The garden is elegant and spectacular, with carved beams and painted buildings. There is a tomb on the mountain, and the stone tablet is engraved with Mulan Poem and Flower General Cemetery written by Shu Tong, as well as poems praising Mulan by famous poets such as Bai Juyi and Du Mu. Mulan's favorite peony flowers are planted all over the park, and the soldiers' statues of Mulan are carved, and the swords are prancing, which vividly reproduces Mulan's dashing and heroic spirit.

Historians have little record of Mulan, and the future of Mulan's soul is as uncertain as a cloud, with many legends.

Edit this paragraph, Mulan Ancestral Temple

Mulan Ancestral Hall was founded in the Tang Dynasty. During the Taihe period of Jin Dynasty (A.D.1201-kloc-0/208), a captain from Wu Dun returned to the wine supervisor in Yingguo Town, Gushu County, Defu, rebuilt three halls and temples respectively, and made statues of Mulan. In the second year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1334), Liang Yin Siwen of Suiyang Prefecture proposed to raise 2500 yuan for reconstruction and expansion. In the 11th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1807), the monks Jane Jean and Jane Ke and their disciples Tian He, Tian Zhen and Song Tian raised funds to repair the temple and erect a monument. Due to the reconstruction of past dynasties, the temple covers an area of 1 10,000 square meters, with more than 400 mu of temple land and more than 0 abbots 10. Mulan temple

1943 was destroyed by war. Now there are two surviving monuments. First, in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a monument on the east side of the temple gate "Distinguishing the meaning of general filial piety". The monument is bluestone, 3.6m high and 1 m wide. Both the front and back of the monument are deeply embossed Erlong Yunli play beads, which are symmetrical in layout and generous in shape. The inscription on the seal script is "Correcting the portrait of General Xiao Lie". The four sides of the monument are engraved with patterns, and the top is engraved with two dragon balls by exaggerating the wave temperature. The faucet is big and realistic, and the dragon body is simple and compact, and it is vivid and wonderful. Both sides are engraved with peony patterns, and the lines are lively and smooth, simple but not vulgar. Inscription 3 1 line, full of 68 words, its carved books are exquisite and vigorous. The turtle seat is 0.7 meters high, its head is turtle-shaped, its tail is straight, and its limbs are semi-curved. It looks like lying and lifelike. Inscription: In the second year of Yuan Dynasty, his ancestral home was Tang Deli, and Hou Youzao wrote it. Cao Zhou Li Kejun and Li Ying carved this stone. The monument was appraised by experts, and it is indeed a real stone carving of the Yuan Dynasty. 1982, the monument was rebuilt at the expense of the provincial cultural relics bureau. The roof is sedan-chair-shaped, with four ridges on the spire, and the eaves cover 17 floors. The front and rear garden doors are simple and elegant, and there are walls around the monument building. The other is the monument of "Remember the name of General Xiao Lie" in Qing Dynasty, which stands on the west side of the temple gate. It is 2. 14m high and 0.78m wide, with a square seat. The tablet body is engraved with a deep relief dragon with the title of seal script, and the inscription is an official book. The stone is carved by students from Shangqiu County, Guide House, and students from Shangqiu County, Meng and Mangshan. From 65438 to 0993, Yucheng County held the first Mulan Culture Festival in China. Famous Chinese historians gathered in Shangqiu to analyze the contents of Mulan Ci and the remaining records of Yuanbei. There is no doubt that Mulan's hometown is Yucheng.

Edit the relevant evaluation of this paragraph.

Mulan is a heroic song and a tragic poem. "Mulan Ci" was incorporated into the textbooks of primary and secondary schools, and was sung by thousands of young students in Qian Qian. Over the years, Mulan's deeds and image have been put on the stage, and Mulan's joining the army has already spread like wildfire. Her spirit inspired thousands of Chinese sons and daughters to make earth-shattering feats in the battle to defend their country. In order to commemorate her, Yucheng County also has Mulan Middle School, Mulan Railway Station, Mulan Hotel, Mulan Resort, Mulan Industry Group and Mulan Militia Company. Shangqiu also established Mulan Wushu Association, Mulan Drum Team and Mulan Dragon Dance Team. On the eighth day of April every year, on Mulan's birthday, people come to offer sacrifices, and the temple fair is grand. Now, the heroine Mulan's name is not only a household name in China, but also her good reputation has spread all over the world due to the great influence of the cartoon Mulan produced by Disney Company of the United States. The American news media wrote poems praising that "there was Mulan in China in ancient times, and it was named as the father's army; Now there is a cartoon Mulan, which melts in China and spreads all over the west.
