In ancient times, there was a girl named Mulan. She is a very hardworking and filial girl. Mulan weaves good cloth. Every day at dawn, she always shuts herself in the weaving room and carefully spins and weaves. One day, she stayed in the boudoir and sat by the window sighing. Her mother felt very strange and asked her what was on her mind. When her mother pressed her again and again, Mulan had to say, "There is nothing wrong with her, but I read the king's draft paper with his father's name on it last night, but his father is too old to stand the pain of war and his younger brother is too young to replace him. Daughter, I am anxious about this. " After a pause, Mulan added, "I studied martial arts with my father since I was a child, so I can join the army instead of my father." Mother said shyly, "But you are a girl, how can you join the army?" Mulan said firmly, "I have an idea." Yes, Mulan disguised herself as a man to bid farewell to her parents and went to the frontier fortress to fight with the army. Mulan was brave and made many contributions in the war. After more than ten years of hard fighting, the war finally ended and Mulan returned home in triumph. In order to reward Mulan's merits, the emperor gave her a lot of money and things, and honored her. But Mulan said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to be an official. I only ask the emperor to allow me to go back to my hometown and reunite with my parents. " The emperor agreed to Mulan's request. When Mulan got home, she immediately went to her room, put on the girl's clothes, braided her hair, inserted flowers and came out, revealing her original girl appearance. When the companions who sent Mulan back saw it, they were all surprised and said, "Oh, I didn't know you were a girl after all these years." Later, someone wrote a poem "Mulan Poetry" for this purpose. The last lines of the poem are: the male rabbit's feet are confused and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred. When two rabbits walk side by side, can I tell if I am a male or a female? When the rabbit's ears are hanging in the air, the male rabbit's front feet are always moving, and the female rabbit's eyes are often narrowed, which is easy to identify. If two rabbits run side by side next to the ground, who can tell which is the male and which is the female? This idiom means that things are vague in people's minds and it is difficult to see the truth clearly.
Two idioms in Mulan's poems are puzzling.
