In today's middle school textbooks, "Mulan Ci" is almost a must memorized text, and many people have a big head when reading this text, because Mulan Ci is too awkward to read, both like poetry and like an ancient text, and there are many strange words. In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because the older the ancient poems and articles are from our time, the more difficult it is to understand, and the more difficult it is to read, and the creation of "Mulan Ci" is from the Northern Wei Dynasty fifteen hundred years ago.
The background of the story is as follows: During the Northern Wei Dynasty, because the northern nomads continued to harass the south, the Northern Wei regime decided that every household must have a man on the front line, this period of history is real, and then it is time for Mulan to appear.
The Mulan family because her father was old and her brother was still young, so Mulan decided to join the army for her father. The "Mulan Ci" reads: "The East Market buys horses, the West Market buys saddles, the South Market buys the head, and the North Market buys the long whip." Dan resigned her grandmother and went to sleep by the Yellow River", and since then Mulan has begun her military career.
However, the latter matter is more controversial, because "Mulan Ci" said in the last paragraphs: "Twelve years of traveling together, I don't know that Mulan is a girl." This means that Mulan's companions in the army have been with Mulan for twelve years, and no one knows that Mulan is a girl.
Therefore, whether the character of Mulan really exists in history has been controversial, one is that there is no historical record of whether Mulan really existed in addition to the "Mulan Ci", after all, the "Mulan Ci" wrote that "return to see the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven sits in the Ming Hall" can see the Son of Heaven, it can be seen that Mulan is not a simple character, and Mulan has also been sealed as an official, not without a little record.
In the historical data to find evidence of mulan's existence, many experts and scholars have tried, experts have found that in 429 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty broke the Battle of Ruoran, and there are 3 march records in the historical record that fit the place names mentioned in the Mulan Ci. But this is not enough to prove that Mulan ever existed.
However, the excavation of a site in Mongolia's Orkhon Province has greatly proved the possibility of Mulan's existence, and two anthropologists at the University of California, the United States, have found some remains in the ruins, most of which are said to be 1500 years old Xianbei people, and the location and time of the remains are very similar to the place where Mulan participated in the battle, and the time is also consistent.
Experts were surprised to find that the ruins also contained the skeletons of two women, and through the funerary items around them, the traces on the bones of the ruins proved that they most likely participated in the war, and even said to be experienced female warriors. It can be seen that women on the battlefield at that time could exist among the northern nomads.
Since there have been female warriors in history, mulan may be real, and professors Christine Lee and Yahera Gonzalez also firmly believe that mulan is real.
Finally, there is the reason why Mulan has been in the army for 12 years but has not been recognized, "Mulan Ci" has a record: "Thousands of miles to the plane, Guan Shandu Ruofei", which shows that Mulan is a cavalry, most of the cavalry in the Northern Wei Dynasty have their own tents, so as long as Mulan's personal life can remain independent for a long time, then it is normal not to be recognized.
