Appreciation of Mulan's Poems
Mulan Ci is a long narrative folk song in northern China during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is also a Yuefu poem. 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 originated from the folk, and in the long-term spread process, it has traces of being polished by later literati, but it basically retains the characteristics that folk songs are easy to remember and recite. The whole poem is divided into six paragraphs, written in chronological order. Mulan has been writing for more than ten years, from preparing for the army to going out to war, from battlefield life to triumph.
In the first paragraph, Mulan decided to join the army instead of her father. Chatting, Mulan is knitting at home. I don't smell the loom, only the woman's sigh. Haw is another sigh. Mulan is weaving at home, but she doesn't hear the loom, which shows that Mulan has no intention of weaving at this time. The woman sighed, which implied that Mulan was deeply worried. If you start with a chirp and answer a chirp, then this hint will have a prominent role, and you will see an extraordinary scene in singing.
