Popularize Mulan's poems
Speaking of the heroine, perhaps many people will think of Mulan who joined the army instead of her father. As a rare heroine in ancient times, she was put on the screen many times, and her deeds were first seen in Mulan Ci, one of the "double walls of Yuefu". According to the description in Mulan Ci, Mulan should have been born in the late Northern and Southern Dynasties. At that time, the court ordered conscription. Mulan's father is old and sick, and her younger brother is young. In desperation, Mulan had to join the army instead of her father and go into battle in disguise. Mulan galloped on the battlefield 12 years, and repeatedly made outstanding achievements. When she returned to Korea with a great army, the emperor rewarded her for her achievements and wanted to make her Shang Shulang, but she was determined not to be disarmed in the future. When she returned home, she changed into women's clothes, and 12 of the soldiers realized that Mulan was actually Nv Jiao. But Mulan Ci did not mention the ending of Mulan. Later, it was widely circulated that the emperor at that time wanted to call Mulan into the palace after knowing her life experience. She would rather die than surrender and commit suicide. The emperor was also greatly saddened when he heard that he was posthumously awarded as "General Filial Piety". Who is the "emperor" here, there is no textual research, and the ending of Mulan is unknown, but the story of "Mulan joined the army instead of her father" has been passed down from generation to generation. However, the world has only seen Hua Mulan's bravery, but few people can appreciate her sadness as a daughter wandering in the military camp. Until the Tang Dynasty, after Du Mu visited Mulan Temple, he wrote a poem called Mulan Temple, which expressed Mulan's inner sadness and made people feel sympathy. The whole poem is as follows: bending the bow to be a chivalrous man, I once dreamed of thrush. A few times, the wine brush piled on the cloud to wish Princess Ming. Du Mu's nostalgic poems have always been unique, just as everyone is praising Xiang Yu's heroic spirit of refusing to cross the river east, but he said in Diaojiangting that "Bao is a ashamed man". The same is true of this poem, which highlights the heroic image of Mulan from another angle. Although slightly tragic, I think this is the real Mulan. At the beginning of the poem, the heroic image of Mulan galloping on the battlefield is vividly reproduced by "fighting with a bow". Like a man, she wore a military uniform and fought on the battlefield. In the baptism of blood and fire, she spent the best years of her life, which was 12. But even if a man dresses up, it can't change the fact that she is Nv Jiao. When she returns to her dream in the middle of the night, she will dream about the life of a girl who caresses her eyebrows. A "dream" highlighted her inner sadness. "Thrush" is a common daily action for girls, but for Mulan at this time, it can only appear in dreams, and the harm in her heart is self-evident, which also highlights her yearning for a quiet life. The first sentence of the poem is about her external bravery, and the second sentence focuses on her internal girlish characteristics, so that the contradictory Mulan is the real her. The next three or four sentences, with a change of pen, are written by Zhao Jun who is close to the fortress. She has raised a glass many times to look back at her hometown, and even paid homage to Wang Zhaojun on the floating clouds. Wang Zhaojun is one of the four most beautiful women in China and a princess in the Han Dynasty. Obviously, she has nothing to do with Mulan. One is a weak beauty, and the other is a brave female general. In fact, they have the same characteristics: whether Mulan joins the army or respects her husband and relatives, she is a woman who shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country and the nation. In the feudal patriarchal society, it was originally a man's duty to defend the country, but it turned out that a beautiful woman shouldered such a responsibility, which has to be said to be a great irony. Du Mu did not directly accuse men in this poem, but first created a heroic image of Mulan, and then revealed her inner helplessness and sadness. This reveals the abnormal phenomenon of "trusting women with Ann", which is thought-provoking. Do you have a deeper understanding of Mulan after reading this poem? -END- Author: Readers in Kai Zi, remember to give Kay Agger a compliment (the picture is from the Internet, but it has been deleted).
