You only know that her name is "Mulan", and you know that her last name is "Hua", which is still controversial?

Why Mulan's surname is Hua has never been determined. The reason is that there is no data basis, and the public says that it is reasonable, and the old woman says that it is reasonable. Generally speaking, there are two opinions. First, the origin of Mulan's flowers is not defined according to our normal surname, that is to say, Mulan's flower surname is not from her father or mother or family, but a symbol. Just like the Monkey King in the Journey to the West, the Monkey King's grandson changed his identity according to the nature of his monkey grandson, and the flower name of Mulan should be given by the author himself.

There was a saying in Li Sao, which was popular at that time: "Drinking magnolia in the morning will reveal the stuffing, and eating autumn chrysanthemum in the evening will be rude." Mulan's surname was inspired by the author. Perhaps Mulan is not a person at all, but an artistic image in literary works. The author may have met or heard of such a person who joined the army instead of his father, or he may have shaped such a character because of the social phenomenon that women joined the army and fought in the society at that time. Mulan is a flower.

Secondly, Hua Mulan's surname is purely fabricated, because there is no historical evidence to prove that Hua Mulan's surname is Hua, because in Hua Mulan's ci, only the word Hua Mulan is mentioned from beginning to end, that is, Hua Mulan did not actually mention her surname. And why some people later called it Mulan.

Another person is Xu Wei, a writer and dramatist in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Wei wrote a play called "Female Mulan Joins the Army as Father", which contains a passage: "My name is Mulan. My ancestors lived in Wei County, Hebei Province when they were in the Western Han Dynasty. It is this passage that makes the world think that Mulan is surnamed Hua. However, because there were many unreasonable places in this work at that time, and Xu Wei was a little crazy because of his poor life at that time, this work could not be used as evidence. So Mulan's surname Hua is fabricated.
