Praise Mulan in a poetic way

Mulan Poetry was first published in Ancient and Modern Music Records compiled by the wise craftsman Chen Monk in the Southern Dynasties, and was later included in Guo Maoqian's Yuefu Poetry Collection. This poem was produced in the late Northern Wei Dynasty. It may have been polished by literati during its circulation, but it basically maintained the emotional appeal of folk songs. This poem is based on folklore and tells the story of Mulan disguised as a man to join the army instead of her father.

The whole poem is divided into six natural paragraphs: in the first paragraph, Mulan decided to join the army instead of her father after anxiety and thinking. In the second paragraph, Mulan is going to the front. The third paragraph describes Mulan's ten-year campaign. The fourth paragraph says that Mulan's return has not been rewarded. The fifth paragraph describes Mulan's resignation and reunion with her family. The sixth paragraph ends with an interesting metaphor.

The artistic achievements of this poem:

Poetry has successfully created a radiant image of a legendary heroine. In the poem, Mulan is a beautiful and innocent girl and a hero who spends money like water on the battlefield. When the country needed it, she volunteered to dress up as a man instead of her father to join the army and gallop on the battlefield, and made great contributions with superb martial arts and extraordinary wisdom. After returning from victory, I am willing to go back to my hometown and live a quiet life, not coveting high officials and rich people. She embodies the hard-working, kind, deep and brave personality spirit of ordinary workers in China, and also embodies the patriotic and family-loving spirit of relieving worries for her father and faithfully serving the country.

The narrative is complete and well cut. The full text is arranged in chronological order according to the process of event occurrence, development and ending, with clear clues and complete narrative. The background reflected by the author is quite broad, lasting for ten years, from family to battlefield, to court and then to family in space. In the face of rich materials, the author did not tell the story directly, but carefully cut the whole process of the event, with detailed details and omissions. This poem describes in detail the origin of Hua Mulan's joining the army, the preparation for going out to war, the process of missing her loved ones, quitting her job and returning home, but gives a rough description of Hua Mulan's ten-year life in the army. The author's tailoring is intended to highlight Mulan's rich and delicate emotional world, so that the image of Mulan has a strong human touch and life atmosphere, making people feel that Mulan is a real hero.

The means of narrative description are also very rich. There are dialogue descriptions, such as Mulan Weaving Sighs, which are actually based on the dialogue between father and daughter; There is a special arrangement and rendering, such as the following four sentences of "East City", and then the sentences of "Don't smell" and "But smell" are also lyrical in the narrative, which is useless. Have a concise and general description, such as ten years of campaign life; There are exquisite descriptions of scenes and behaviors, such as the family welcoming Mulan and the scene after Mulan came home, which are vividly described, full of emotions and profound implications. At the same time, many rhetorical devices are used in poetry, such as parallelism, antithesis, metaphor, exaggeration and overlapping, which also enhance the expressive force and vividness of poetry. In addition, poetry is dominated by five words, seven words and nine words are used at the same time, with a bright and smooth rhythm and full of musical beauty.
