Where is Mulan from?

As an ancient heroine in China, the story of Mulan's father's victory over the invading nation in the army has been widely circulated, and it has been filmed into films, TV plays, songs and dances, Henan operas and other literary works. The story about Mulan originated from the folk song Mulan Ci in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, Mulan's real surname and native place are not clearly recorded in the history books, but are recorded in some unofficial history.

Among them, Jiao said in Shi Jiao Bi Cheng: "Mulan, the daughter of Zhu, takes the place of her father. Today, Huangpi County in Huangzhou is 70 miles north, namely Mulan County in Suiyuan. There are Mulan Mountain, the Shenlong Hall of the Shogunate and the Zhonglie Temple, which are enough to make up for the lack of Yuefu inscriptions. " However, Xu Wei, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, adapted Mulan Poetry into Female Mulan Joining the Army as Father. In the play, she claimed to be: "My name is Hua Ming Mulan. My ancestors lived in Wei County, Hebei Province when they were in the Western Han Dynasty. My father's name is Sangzhi and he has been practicing martial arts all his life. In the past, he was also a famous commander.

Because its adaptation of "Joining the Army for Father" was very popular at that time, later, Mulan's father's name was Hua Arc, her sister's name was Hua Mulian, her brother's name was Hua Xiong, and her mother's name was Hua Yuan.

Mulan joined the army as her father, which really existed in the history of China and happened in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Due to the invasion of nomadic people from the north to the south, the country fell into a turbulent situation. In order to drive away these invaders, the Northern Wei regime at that time stipulated that every family should have a man as a soldier. Mulan's father is sickly and her brother is still young. Mulan, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, took off her women's clothes and put on men's clothes, and began her military life in exile for her father.

Hua Mulan and her friends stayed at the border for more than ten years, but no one found out that she was a daughter. Come back alive and find it's a daughter. Because she made great contributions in the frontier, the emperor finally saw it, not only pardoned her for deceiving the monarch, but also prepared to let her be an official. However, at this time, Mulan always cared about her seriously ill father and young brother, refused the official position given by the emperor, and just wanted to go home and honor her parents.
