Is Mulan a real person or a legendary character???

It's really a character.

During the Yining period of Emperor Gong of Sui, the Turks committed the border, Mulan pretended to be **, served in the army on behalf of her father, fought in the territory for many years, and made many meritorious achievements, no one found that she was a woman, and after returning to the dynasty, she was named Shangshu. In the Tang Dynasty, he was posthumously awarded the title of "General Xiaolie" and set up a shrine to commemorate it.

Mulan's deeds have been passed down to this day, mainly due to the swan song of the folk song "Mulan Ci", which is a long narrative poem that praises the legendary story of Mulan's daughter pretending to be ** serving in the army for her father. The poem is written like this:

Chirp and chirp, Mulan is a household weaver, and I don't hear the sound of the machine, but I hear the woman sighing. Ask the woman what she thinks, ask the woman what she remembers, the woman has nothing to think, and the woman has nothing to remember. Last night, I saw the military post, and the Khan ordered a large number of troops.

There are twelve volumes of military books, the scrolls have the name of the grandfather, the grandfather has no eldest son, Mulan has no eldest brother, and he is willing to be the saddle horse of the city, and he will fight for the grandfather from now on.

The east market buys horses, the west market buys saddle sheaths, the south market buys bridles, and the north market buys long whips. As soon as I leave my grandmother, I went to the Yellow River at dusk. I don't hear the voice of my grandmother calling her daughter, but I hear the splashing of the Yellow River. But quit the Yellow River and stay at the head of the Black Mountain at dusk. I didn't hear the voice of the grandmother calling the girl, but I heard the chirping of Yanshan Hu Qi.

Thousands of miles to the plane, Guan Shan is like flying. Shuoqi spreads gold analysis, and the cold light shines on the iron coat. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years.

When I returned to see the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven sat in the Ming Hall. Twelve turns, rewards hundreds of strong. Khan asked what he wanted, and Mulan didn't need Shang Shulang. I am willing to travel thousands of miles and send my son back to his hometown.

When the grandmother heard that the girl was coming, she came out of Guo Xiang to help the general. When my sister heard that her sister was coming, she took care of her red makeup. When the younger brother heard that his sister was coming, he sharpened his knife and went to the pigs and sheep.

Open the door of my east pavilion and sit on my west pavilion bed. Take off my wartime robes and put on my old clothes. When the window is cloudy sideburns, the mirror appliqué yellow.

When I went out to see my partner, my partner was terrified. has been together for 12 years, but I don't know that Mulan is a girl!

The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred. The double rabbit walks on the ground, and Ann can tell that I am male and female.

Mulan is a fictional character.

There is no heroine in history, Mulan, she is a fictional character in literature. The historical Mulan is not real, because there is no record in the history books. But Mulan's story does have a real historical background, and this character is a fictional artistic image.

Mulan's deeds have been passed down to this day, and even been put on the stage, and many of her spirits continue to inspire Chinese children, such as defending the family and the country, and honoring their parents.

The story of Mulan is widely spread in folklore and opera, and almost all kinds of dramas show the story of Mulan joining the army for her father. However, in the official history and the wild history, it is difficult to find Mulan's story, and even the prototype of characters with similar backgrounds is difficult to find.

Mulan's story

Mulan has been learning to read and write with her father since she was a child, and she also likes horseback riding and archery, and has developed a good martial arts. One day, the errand officer in the yamen sent a notice of conscription, and the boys in the family were needed to go. But Mulan's father is too old to join the army, and her younger brother is still young.

So Mulan decided to disguise herself as ** to join the army for her father, although her family was reluctant, but there was no way.

Mulan follows the team to the northern border, and she is careful at every turn for fear that her identity will be discovered. During the battle, Mulan of the Huachun Regiment rushed to the front with her skills, and she has been in the army for more than 20 years, she has made a lot of contributions, and her companions also admire her. After the war, the emperor wanted to reward Mulan and wanted to make her an official.

Hua Mulan said that she didn't want money or money, and she didn't want to be an official, she just wanted to go home to honor her parents, and the emperor agreed.

After Mulan returned home, her family hurriedly came out to greet her, and her younger brother slaughtered cattle and sheep at home, wanting to comfort her sister who had made meritorious contributions to the country. At this time, she changed back to **, and combed her hair, and then thanked her companions who escorted her back, and the companions were very surprised and admired when they saw that Mulan was a woman who regretted Orange Forest, they didn't expect that the comrade-in-arms who had fought with them for so long was actually a woman.

I think it is very likely that Mulan does not exist in history, and it is more suitable to listen to it as a story, and it may be better to read it as a legendary story. The reasons are as follows:

The first is because Mulan was first written in the script of Xu Wenchang, a genius in the Ming Dynasty, and the surname of Mulan in the script was Hua, and then this script was used by the troupe, adapted into a drama and performed everywhere, and then passed on again and again, widely known and had a great impact, so there is the name of the current Mulan.

The second is that there are many stories of Mulan, with different dynasties and surnames, so it is very likely that Mulan is a collection of images of multiple women who served in the army for their fathers. Some people say that Mulan's surname is Zhu and she is a native of Songzhou, and in the Yuan Dynasty document "The Statue of General Xiaolie", it is said that Mulan's surname is Wei and she is from Bo County, Anhui Province. There may be many women in history who served as the army for their father and brother, but the recorded Mulan is actually a representative of many women in the army, and with the spread of folklore, the image of Mulan women who do not let her eyebrows be more widely known.

Thirdly, from a realistic point of view, women are physically weaker than men, and they have a menstrual period every month, and it is difficult to hide their gender if they do not have a high status and an independent tent in the army. In addition, sleeping in the barracks is definitely more bitter than living at home, and if women can adapt to ancient military life, there must be very few women.

The fourth is that in ancient times, joining the army was to check the military registration, if the household registration was not checked, the age difference was too big, even if the makeup was used to cover the difference, it was not a little bit of a star, and it was difficult to make do with it. Ancient people didn't even distinguish between men and women, right, the girl who has not left the cabinet and the old man in the prime of life, there is still a big difference.

That's my opinion, hope, thank you.

According to historical records, Hua Mulan is a real person, she was a female general during the Northern Wei Dynasty, who once joined the army in place of her father. Legend has it that in order to protect her family and the country, Mulan disguised herself as a man, joined the army, and performed well on the battlefield, and finally became famous. This story has been passed down to future generations and has been adapted into many films, TV series and other works.

However, it should be noted that Mulan's story is based on legends and myths of historical events, including royal pieces, which may be mixed with some fictional and exaggerated elements. Therefore, we cannot see Mulan as a real figure in history, but her courage and wisdom as a woman in ancient society still deserve our admiration and inheritance.

There is a person named Mulan in history.

Hua Mulan, an ancient Chinese heroine, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, served in the army on behalf of her father to defeat the invading nation and spread through the ages, and her deeds have been passed down to this day, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was posthumously awarded the title of "General Xiaolie".

The spread of the story of Huamu Jizai Lan should be attributed to the Ming and Qing Dynasty Wang folk songs of "Mulan Ci", but the surname and place of origin of Huamu Zheng Laolan are not confirmed in the history books. Mulan's deeds have been expressed in a variety of literary and artistic works, such as movies, TV series, singing and dancing dramas, etc.

Chronological controversy. As for the age of birth, Yao Ying said in "Kanghui Jixing" that she was from Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Emperor Xuanwu; Song Xiangfeng's "Guo Tinglu" said that she was from the time of Emperor Gong of Sui, and Cheng Dachang's "Acting Fanlu" said that she was from the early Tang Dynasty.

According to the Northern Dynasty folk song "Mulan Ci" (also known as "Mulan Poem"), during the reign of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father and participated in the Battle of Rouran in the Northern Wei Dynasty. After the war, the imperial court wanted to award her Shang Shulang, but she politely refused.

However, Mulan's surname is actually Zhu, a native of the Western Han Dynasty, born in Dachengtan Village, Yaoji Town, Huangpi District, Wuhan City. Huangpi Zhu Mulan has three pieces of evidence: literature, physical objects, and oral traditions. Mingren Jiao Fu said in his "Jiao's Pen Ride":

"Mulan, a woman from the Zhu family, is a substitute for her father." Seventy miles north of Huangpi County, Huangzhou, that is, Sui Mulan County. There are Mulan Mountain, the General's Tomb, and the Martyrs' Temple, which is enough to make up for the lack of "Yuefu Inscription".

The Qing Dynasty's "Kangxi Huangpi County Chronicles" contains: "Mulan, the female ...... of the Zhu family in this countyThe fake man went west on behalf of his father ......To this day, his home is still at the foot of Mulan Mountain. ”

There should be a historical prototype and then folk fiction was added, after all, according to a "Answer and Mulan Ci", the plot described in it is also very cinematic (what is the father's expedition, and after the meritorious service, the comrades did not find out that it was a woman). But it can be seen that Mulan Ci can be spread so widely, it is not all nonsense, after all, there are many women in Chinese history who can fight well.

Hua Mulan is a heroine in Chinese literature who served in the army on behalf of her father, and at present, the authenticity is unknown, and it cannot be said that it is completely fictional, but its prototype is still controversial.

There are many books (records, county records) about Mulan that are not literary works, so it seems that her person exists (at least there is a prototype); However, there are great discrepancies in the various accounts, giving the impression that there are elements of fiction and literary ornamentation, so if it is said that it is real, there seems to be a lack of evidence.

The person Hua Mulan is real, but it is still debatable whether her surname is Hua Zhu Han Ren or what her surname is. One of the most widely circulated is to say that the surname is Hua.

But about Mulan, from a point of view, there are two of Mulan's birth times in history, during the reign of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Mulan participated in the Battle of Porouran. <>

Summary. Later historians compared the sentences in the poem and combined them with the history of the Northern Dynasties to lock the time of Mulan's military service between 435 and 449 AD. The third emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taiwu of Wei Tuoba Tao (408-452 AD), ruled during this period.

Although there are many famous people in history, such as Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Dachang in the Southern Song Dynasty, Xu Wenchang in the Ming Dynasty, and Yao Shifu in the Qing Dynasty, they all believe that Mulan is real.
