Is there any record of Mulan's appearance in real history?

There is such a person. But there are different opinions at present. 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.

As for appearance, you may be disappointed if you read Mulan Ci carefully again, because the poem does not describe the heroine's appearance positively, including her hair, her figure, her skin color, her eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth, and even her expression. However, although there is no front description, there are still many side descriptions. There are two important places. One is "sigh" written by Mulan at the beginning of the poem, which is about her father's morale. First, at the end of the poem, Mulan came home from the army and dressed herself up happily: "Open my East Pavilion door and sit on my West Pavilion bed. Take off my wartime robe and put on my old clothes. There are clouds in the window and yellow in the mirror. " The second poem is the most important. It is also the root of people's association with Mulan's beautiful appearance. This is also the highlight of this poem.

However, it is disappointing that if there really is a woman disguised as a man to join the army instead of her father, and she gets along with those rude or even rude male comrades-in-arms after 12 years (there should be no female soldiers in ancient times), but she doesn't reveal her female identity, it can only explain one problem-Mulan is not only ugly, but also looks masculine and ugly. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why she has succeeded in making his comrades "don't know Mulan is a girl" for so long. For reference.
