The following three points must be made clear: where are the complexity and simplicity in Mulan's poems? What effect does this simplification have? Why does the author do this?
(1) The application of complex brushwork: Mulan's worries when knitting at home, her activities when preparing to tidy up, her mentality when going to war, her family's joy when coming home, and her joy when emphasizing "daughter's dress". , are written in great detail.
For example, Mulan bought a pommel horse, which described the parallel of east, west, north and south, and rendered the tension and busyness of pre-war preparation. Readers seem to see Mulan's haste and busyness, and can also imagine how heroic Mulan in military uniform is!
For another example, when Hua Mulan went to the battlefield, she repeatedly mentioned "I didn't hear her parents calling for a female voice", which is actually a true portrayal of Hua Mulan's mentality at this time: at sunset, when dusk fell, Hua Mulan slept alone on the bank of the Yellow River, listening to the rushing sound of the Yellow River, but her heart was always echoing her parents' voices, drifting away, and her parents' voice calling for her daughter had long since disappeared, but it always echoed in her daughter's ears! The journey is long, when can I hear the kind call of my parents who warm my daughter's heart again?
For example, in the last paragraph, when Mulan was going back to her hometown, the different actions of her parents, brothers and sisters were repeated three times in the same sentence, vividly showing the happy mood and atmosphere when her relatives finally got together after ten years' separation.
The description of Mulan's re-entry into the boudoir and "daughter makeup" vividly renders Mulan's love for life and beautiful and lovely daughter modality.
② Application of simple pen. As for a simple pen, the description of the battle process is mainly simple, and ten years of life can be written in just a few words.
Why did you arrange this? What the author describes with pen and ink is often what he wants to highlight. What this poem wants to highlight is the praise for Mulan's filial piety to her parents and her courage to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Therefore, putting aside the cruel war can reflect the beautiful inner content and spare no expense. In addition, this complicated arrangement seems to imply the author's longing for a better life and his indifference and distance to the war.
A girl who has been fighting hard for ten years on the battlefield has made great achievements-"the policy of twelve turns, rewarding the top 100", which shows her courage and tenacity. But neither the author nor the readers like a superwoman without feminine taste, so the author simply touches on the killing on the battlefield and takes "Mulan is a girl" as the core of his thought. Therefore, he devoted himself to writing about Mulan's concern for her parents as a girl, her clever dressing up and the charm of her gorgeous dressing up. People never lack a warrior-like "Gu Dasao", and there are many standard beauties like "Cui Yingying" in China, but there are both beautiful daughters and provocative men. Mulan is unique in the history of China literature! This arrangement from complexity to simplicity has played a role in highlighting the characteristics of characters and expressing the author's tendency.
