Mulan is one of the four legendary heroines in ancient China, and also a legendary heroine in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. Her story is also a tragic and heroic epic. Mulan first appeared in a narrative poem "Mulan Ci" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, written in the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and originally recorded in Chen's "Ancient and Modern Music Record" in the Southern Dynasties. The monk wise craftsman said in the Record of Ancient and Modern Music: "Mulan is nameless." It was more than 300 words long and was later polished by the literati of Sui and Tang Dynasties. ? [In 429 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty broke the Battle of Rouran. In the official history, there were three marching records for this battle, which were consistent with the place names mentioned in Mulan Ci. "Shu Wei Shi Zu": "Driving Dongyuan to Montenegro". The ninety-first time in the biography of Shu Wei: "The car drove out of the road, crossed Yanran Mountain, arrived in Montenegro ... and went to the north". "Biography of Northern History" goes back to the eighty-sixth time: "The car leaves the lodge and goes to Montenegro ... to the north of Yanran Mountain". It should be noted that Yanran is often called Yanshan in ancient poetry.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, nomadic people in the north constantly harassed the south, and the Northern Wei regime stipulated that each family should send a man to the front. However, Mulan's father was too old and sickly to go to war, and her younger brother was still young, so Mulan decided to join the army instead of her father and began her military life for more than ten years.

It is difficult for many men to go to the border to fight, and it is more difficult for Mulan to hide her identity and kill the enemy with her friends than for ordinary people who join the army.

Fortunately, Mulan finally accomplished her mission and won a great victory decades later. Because of her great contribution, the emperor pardoned her for cheating the monarch, and at the same time believed that she was capable of serving in the court and holding an official position. But Mulan refused, because she had an old father to take care of, and asked the emperor to let her go back to China to make compensation and honor her parents.

For thousands of years, Mulan has always been a respected woman in China, because she is brave and simple. 1998, American Disney Company adapted Mulan's story into an animated cartoon, which was welcomed all over the world.

Mulan's deeds and image have been put on the stage and will be immortal. Her spirit has inspired thousands of Chinese sons and daughters to defend their country, which is touching.
