Mulan Poetry, also known as Mulan Ci, is a folk song of the Northern Dynasties. Peacock Flying Southeast, also known as "Ancient Poems for Jiao Zhongqing's Wife", is one of the representative works of ancient Yuefu folk songs in Han Dynasty, and it is also the earliest existing long narrative poem.
Peacock Flying Southeast is based on a marriage tragedy in Lujiang County (now Anhui Province) during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Originally a folk song, it may have been polished by later literati. The story tells the story of a young woman named Liu Lanzhi who was beautiful, kind, intelligent and hardworking during the Jian 'an period at the end of Han Dynasty. After she married Jiao Zhongqing, the couple respected each other, loved each other and had deep feelings. Unexpectedly, the stubborn mother Jiao looked at her with unhappy eyes, was critical in every way, and bullied her into firing her. Jiao Zhongqing was forced by her mother's orders, but she had to persuade Lan Zhi to stay away from her family until she tried to take her home in the future. When they broke up, the two vowed never to lose each other. Who knows that after Lan Zhi returned to her mother's house, her flattering brother forced her to remarry the son of the satrap. Jiao Zhongqing rushed to the scene, and the two agreed to "meet under the grave". On the wedding day of the satrap's son, both of them died of double suicide.
Through the love tragedy of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing, Peacock Flying Southeast accuses the evil of feudal ethics, paternalism and the concept of gate valve, and expresses the reasonable desire of young men and women for their independence in marriage and love. Liu Lanzhi, the heroine, is faithful to love and has an uncompromising struggle against feudal forces and feudal ethics, which makes her a rebellious female image in the history of literature and is praised by young men and women in later generations.

It tells the story of Mulan disguised as a man, joined the army instead of her father, fought in the battlefield, returned to the DPRK in triumph, made meritorious deeds, and resigned and returned to China, which is full of legend. This poem creates an immortal image of Mulan, which is both legendary and touching. Mulan is a strange girl and an ordinary person, a heroine and an ordinary girl, a vigorous warrior and a beautiful daughter. She is hard-working, kind-hearted, determined, brave, honest and simple, alert and lively, loves loving the country and loving the quiet life of not admiring high officials and rich people. For more than a thousand years, the story of Mulan joining the army instead of her father has become a household name in China, and the image of Mulan is also deeply loved by people. This poem is full of folk songs. The whole poem conceives the legendary story of Mulan with "Mulan is a girl", which is full of romance.
The complex and simple arrangement of Mulan Poetry is very ingenious. Although it is about war, it is full of life scenes and children's modality. In the poem, the psychology of the characters is portrayed in the way of question and answer, which is vivid and meticulous; I am very proud to describe the behavior modality with many careful comparisons; It is unforgettable to summarize the whole poem with humorous metaphors. This makes the work have a strong artistic appeal.
