"Ode of Mulan" was a famous narrative poem in ancient China. It told the story of Hua Mulan joining the army on behalf of her father. The poem used Hua Mulan's personal experience as the material to show her bravery, strength and loyalty, and the bravery of the ancient Chinese army and the cruelty of war.
There were 11 sentences in the poem, which were divided into six parts: Early Departure from White Emperor City, Yellow Crane Tower, Spectacular Song of Climbing High, Ballad of Mount Lu, Recalling the Past at Nizhu, and Returning to the Capital. The first two lines of " Leaving White Emperor City Early " and " Yellow Crane Tower " became classics of Chinese culture.
"Ode of Mulan" had a high reputation and influence not only in China but also in the world. It was regarded as one of the treasures of ancient Chinese poetry. It was widely praised and adapted to become one of the cultural classics around the world.
The Mulan Song and the Mulan Poetry were both ancient Chinese literature works, and both contained the story of Mulan joining the army for her father. Although there were no direct similarities between the two, there were some similarities.
In Mulan's poem, Mulan had no elder brother because she inherited her father's throne after his death. However, she did not want to become a victim of political struggle, so she chose to join the army in her father's place and became a brave general.
There was a similar plot in the Mulan Song. The lyrics of the song described a girl who went to war in place of her parents. She did not have an elder brother, but under the love of her parents, she grew into a brave woman.
Although Mulan Song and Mulan Shi were different works, the plot and theme reflected some characteristics and problems of ancient Chinese society, and also expressed people's yearning for freedom, courage and kinship.
There is a possibility that the 'Death Mulan' real story is related to the original. The original Mulan story has themes of heroism and sacrifice. The 'death' in 'Death Mulan' could be an extreme form of that sacrifice. It could also be that the storyteller wanted to explore the darker side of war and heroism that was not fully explored in the original legend. For instance, in the original, Mulan returns home safely after her great deeds, but in this 'Death Mulan' version, she might not have such a fortunate end.
Mulan's decision is significant because it shows her love and respect for her father. She doesn't want her father to go to war in his old and frail state.
The original text of Mulan's poem was as follows:
Chirp and chirp, Mulan weaving. I didn't hear the sound of weaving, only the sigh of my daughter. I asked you what you were thinking. I asked you what you remembered. You don't think, you don't remember. Last night I saw the notice of the army, and the Khan sent a large number of troops. There are twelve volumes of military books, each volume has the name of the master. Grandpa has no eldest son, Mulan has no eldest brother, I am willing to buy pommel horses for you, from now on on for you to levy. Buy horses in the east market, saddles in the west market, bridles in the south market, and whips in the north market. In the morning, he said goodbye to his parents and stayed by the Yellow River in the evening. He didn't hear his parents calling his mother's voice, but heard the sound of the Yellow River splashing. In the morning, he left the Yellow River and went to the head of the Black Mountain in the evening. He did not hear his parents calling his mother's voice, but heard the Hu cavalry of Yanshan Mountain chirping. Wanli rushed to the battlefield, and the mountains seemed to fly. The new moon's breath spread to the golden watchman, and the cold light shone on the iron clothes. Generals die a hundred times, and warriors return ten years later. When he came back to see the emperor, the emperor sat in the bright hall. He was rewarded with 1,000 dollars. Khan asked what he wanted, Mulan did not appoint Shangshulang, willing to gallop thousands of miles, send the son back to his hometown. When the parents heard that their daughter was coming, they went out of the city to help the generals. When the elder sister heard that the younger sister was coming, she arranged the red dress at the door. When the younger brother heard that the younger sister was coming, he sharpened his knife and rushed to the pigs and sheep. Open my door to the east pavilion and sit on my bed in the west pavilion.
