Linguistic features of Mulan's poems
Mulan poetry has a unique style of Yuefu folk songs. Opening questions and answers are common in folk songs.
The language of Mulan's poems is vivid and simple, with few carvings and axes: "My younger brother hears my sister coming and sharpens his knife to pigs and sheep", which has been circulated for thousands of years and is still a spoken language that people relish; Except for the elegant six sentences in Wanli Qurongji, the rest have retained the form and style of folk songs, and the use of chain, question and answer, parallelism and overlap is almost the same as that of folk songs.
Moreover, the language is rich and colorful, the spoken language is simple and natural, the parallelism is harmonious, and the metaphor is novel and humorous, which was not in the plan of the literati at that time.
"Mulan Poetry" has changed seven rhymes, which can also be said to be seven kinds of songs: "Haw, haw, haw ... women have no memory"; "I bought a saddle in the west market ... but I heard the Yellow River splashing"; "the night stays on the black mountain ... but I listen to Yanshan Hu riding a horse"; "Wan Li went to Rongji ... a strong man returned in ten years"; "The son of heaven sat in the hall ... I didn't know Mulan was a girl"; "Mother rabbit's eyes are blurred ... can Ann tell whether I am a man or a woman? "
This is equivalent to writing seven songs under one topic. The difference is that this is a complete song.
The number of sentences in each rhyme of many folk songs is relatively neat, while the number of sentences in Mulan's poems is rather uneven. Because it has been sung by musicians, it has been included in Yuefu songs of past dynasties, and until now there are still storytellers singing Mulan poems.
