"Mulan Poetry" is a Yuefu folk song sung during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China.
The original text is as follows:
The chirping repeats the chirping, Mulan is weaving in every household. I didn't hear the sound of the crowbar, I could only hear the woman sighing.
Ask her what she is thinking about, and ask her what she is remembering. The woman has nothing to think about, and the woman has nothing to remember. I saw the military post last night, and the Khan ordered his troops. There were twelve volumes of military books, each with his name on it. My grandfather has no eldest son, and Mulan has no elder brother. I am willing to saddle the horse for the city, and from now on I will fight for my grandfather.
Buy horses in the east market, saddles and bridles in the west market, bridles in the south market, and long whips in the north market. I bid farewell to my parents in the morning and stayed by the Yellow River in the evening. I didn't hear my parents calling for girls, but I heard the sound of the Yellow River water splashing. I left the Yellow River in the morning and arrived at the top of the Black Mountain in the evening. I didn't hear the mother-in-law's voice calling for the girl, but I heard the chirping of the horseman on Yanshan Mountain.
Thousands of miles away to join the army, it is like flying through the mountains. The new energy spreads to the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron clothes. A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return after ten years.
Return to see the emperor, who is sitting in the bright hall. Twelve rounds of Ce Xun will reward hundreds of strong men. The Khan asked what he wanted, and Mulan didn't need a minister. She was willing to travel thousands of miles to send her son back to her hometown.
When the mother-in-law heard that her daughter was coming, she went out to help the general; when the elder sister heard that the younger sister was coming, she was in charge of doing the makeup; Open the door of my east pavilion and sit on my bed in the west pavilion. Take off my war robe and put on my old clothes. When the window is tidying up one's hair, the mirror is covered with yellow flowers. When I went out to see my friends, they were all frightened: they had been together for twelve years, and they didn't know Mulan was a girl.
The male rabbit’s feet are twitching, and the female rabbit’s eyes are blurry; two rabbits are walking next to each other, how can they tell whether I am male or female?
The full text is translated as follows:
Sighing one after another, Mulan was weaving toward the door. The sound of the shuttle of the loom could not be heard, only Mulan's sigh could be heard.
Ask Mulan what she is thinking about? What are you thinking about? Mulan replied: I am not thinking about anything or worrying about anything. I saw the conscription documents last night. The monarch is recruiting troops on a large scale. There are many volumes of conscription rolls, and my father's name is on each volume. My father had no eldest son, and I had no brother. Mulan was willing to go to the market to buy saddles and horses, and from then on she began to fight in her father's place.
Purchase horses, saddles, saddle pads, bits, reins and whips throughout the market. I said goodbye to my parents in the morning and set off on the road, and camped by the Yellow River at night. I couldn't hear the voices of my parents calling for their daughter, but only the sound of the rushing water of the Yellow River. I left the Yellow River in the morning and went on the road, and arrived at the top of Black Mountain in the evening. I could not hear the voices of parents calling for their daughters, but only the chirping of Hu people's horses.
He rushed to the battlefield thousands of miles away, crossing the passes and climbing the mountains like flying. At night, the cold air from the north carries the sound of the watch, and the cold moonlight shines on the soldiers' armor. Some soldiers went through hundreds of battles, some died for their country, and some returned victorious from fighting for many years.
After returning from victory, he met the emperor. The emperor sat in the palace and discussed merits and rewards. He recorded Mulan's great achievements and rewarded her with a lot of property. The emperor asked Mulan what she wanted. Mulan said she didn't want to be a minister, but wanted to be able to ride a thousand-mile horse and send me back to my hometown as fast as possible.
When the parents heard that their daughter was back, they supported each other and went to greet her outside the city; when the elder sister heard that her sister was back, she started dressing up in front of the door; when the younger brother heard that his sister was back, he was busy sharpening his knife. Kill pigs and sheep. Open the doors of my east and west pavilions and sit on my bed. She took off the war robe she wore during the war, put on her old girl's clothes, combed her cloud-like hair in front of the window and the mirror, and put a yellow flower on her forehead. When I went out to meet my comrades who were fighting together, they were all surprised. They had been fighting together for so many years and they didn't even know Mulan was a woman.
When you hold the rabbit's ears and hang it in the air, the male rabbit's front legs often move, and the female rabbit's eyes often squint, so it is easy to identify. Two rabbits, a male and a female, are running close to the ground. How can you tell which rabbit is the male rabbit and which is the female rabbit?
Full text appreciation:
The first paragraph describes Mulan’s decision to join the army on behalf of her father. "Chirp, chirp, chirp, Mulan is weaving in every house. I don't hear the sound of the machine, I can only hear the woman sighing." Chirp is the sound of sighing. Mulan is weaving at home, but there is no sound of the machine, which implies that Mulan has no intention of weaving at this time. Wei Wen heard the woman sighing, which further hinted that Mulan was deeply worried. Beginning with "chirp, chirp, chirp", this hint has a prominent effect. The singing has already proven to be extraordinary. "Ask me what I am thinking about, and ask me what I am remembering?" The two questions are actually the same question, and the parallelism makes it exciting. "A woman has nothing to think about, and a woman has nothing to remember." The question was so concerned, but the answer was so calm. It shows Mulan's calm character, and it also means Mulan's inner worries. After a fierce conflict, she has made up her mind. “I saw the military post last night and the Khan ordered more troops.
"Recruitment documents were sent to the applicants' homes overnight, which shows that the military situation is very urgent, and it is obvious that the enemy is invading in a large scale. Khan's large-scale recruitment is related to thousands of households." There are twelve volumes of military books, each with the name of the father. "Military books refer to the recruitment rolls. There are twelve volumes. It is an exaggeration to say that the father's name is included in the rolls. It is absolutely true to say that the father's name is on the rolls when he applied for the draft. "My father has no eldest son, and Mulan has no eldest brother. "These two sentences mean the same thing: There are fathers and children in the family, and Mulan is the only one who supports the family. How can an aging father go on an expedition to kill the enemy, but the call of the motherland is obligatory. Faced with this double test, Mulan stepped forward: "I am willing to fight for The market pommel horse, from now on, he will fight for me. "Mulan is a good daughter, and her determination to join the army for her father is actually the combination of her love for her father and her loyalty to the motherland, and it also reveals her true nature as a heroine.
The second paragraph describes Mulan's preparation for the expedition and her departure for the war. Battlefield. "Buy horses in the east market, saddles and saddles in the west market, bridles in the south market, and long whips in the north market. "Four parallel sentences in a row describe the purchase of pommel horses in the four cities, especially the two words "horse" and "long whip", which describe Mulan's high morale before going to the expedition with great style. Morale is originally the life of a soldier." Danci My mother-in-law will go and stay by the Yellow River at dusk. I don't hear the mother-in-law's voice calling the girl, but I hear the sound of the Yellow River water splashing. "When I say goodbye and dusk comes, I don't have to sit down. It's really a day's work. This sentence means that we will travel overnight, the journey is long, and the march is urgent. These four sentences unfold a huge scene of the expedition. Let's talk about the emotion first. In ancient times, a girl left her boudoir far away. Going to the battlefield is like immersing yourself in another world. Once you say goodbye to your parents, you stay in the Yellow River at night. The splashing sound of the Yellow River replaces the friendly calls of your parents on weekdays. This layer-by-layer description depicts the earth-shaking changes in a woman's life after going to war. , the novel feelings of the whole frame are highlighted one by one. This is the only reason why it is true. Let's talk about the scene. On the edge of the Yellow River, in the dusk, a female warrior is waiting for the day. This is a very desolate and tragic state. This kind of state is rare in the history of Chinese poetry. "I leave the Yellow River at dawn and reach the top of the Black Mountain at dusk." I don’t hear my mother-in-law’s voice calling her, but I hear Hu Qiming tweeting from Yanshan Mountain. "These four sentences are in parallel with the previous four sentences, but the meaning has been greatly developed. At dusk, I arrived at Heishan, but I didn't say goodbye, implying that our army has already reached the enemy. I don't hear my mother-in-law calling for a girl, but I hear the chirping of Hu Qi in Yanshan Mountain. , mentioning that the battle is about to begin, also means that Mulan’s past feelings for her children will be forged in the war.
The third paragraph summarizes Mulan’s ten years of fighting life. Du Ruofei. The new energy spreads to the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron clothes. A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return after ten years. "The first two sentences describe the bravery of our army in the battle, and the words "go", "du" and "fly" are very powerful. The second two sentences describe the vigilance of camping, and also point out the hardships of life on the battlefield. Although the four sentences Write about the whole army, Mulan is at ease. The next two sentences use the general's death in battle to highlight the difficulty of Mulan's survival. "One hundred battles" and "ten years" are not real numbers. In summary, these six sentences mean that the wars are frequent and the years are long. The fourth paragraph describes Mulan's military career, and the writing is extremely concise.
The fourth paragraph describes Mulan's return to the court and her resignation. Twelve rounds of Ce Xun will reward hundreds of strong men. "The emperor is the Khan, and the Mingtang refers to the imperial court. The honors are recorded, and the honors are divided into several grades. Each grade is promoted to one rank. Twelve ranks are an exaggeration of the speed of promotion. Hundreds and thousands of strong men, talk about rewards. Hundreds and thousands more. It writes about the emperor's favorable treatment of Mulan. One part implies Mulan's outstanding military achievements, and the other highlights Mulan's eagerness to return home. , send the children back to their hometown. "It must be that Mulan has no interest in the honors and rewards, so the emperor asked her what she wanted. Mulan told her that she did not want to serve as an official, but only wanted to return to her hometown. She was willing to lend her a thousand-mile foot (referring to a fast horse), and she said politely like an arrow to return home. Mulan is not allowed to hold an official position, which can be said to despise her official salary, but it should also be known that she still hides her identity as a woman. Under the conditions at that time, how could a woman be an official (joining the army was a last resort), especially after being separated from her parents for a long time, the daughter's love for her was deep. Exactly. The section about resigning is still written with Mulan as a woman in mind.
The fifth paragraph is about Mulan returning home to reunite with her relatives. Support each other. When my sister heard that my sister was coming, she took care of her makeup. When the younger brother heard that his elder sister was coming, he sharpened his knife and pointed it at the pigs and sheep. "Describes the whole family welcoming Mulan, with three rows and six sentences in one breath, and the celebration reaches its climax. However, there is still a lot of distinction in it, which needs to be understood. Twelve years have passed, and the parents are getting older, so they support each other and go out of the city to welcome her. A-mei When they grow up, they are welcomed with red makeup in accordance with the etiquette of the boudoir. It is a joyful and peaceful time to kill pigs and sheep, and there is also the beauty of traditional etiquette and comfort in this. Just imagine. "Open the door of my east pavilion and sit on my bed in the west pavilion. Take off my war robe and put on my old clothes. When the window is tidying up one's hair, the mirror is covered with yellow flowers.
"Tiehuahuang is to apply yellow on the face, which was a popular cosmetic decoration for women at that time. There are four rows of sentences and two couplets in one breath, writing about Mulan restoring the daughter's happiness. I haven't been in the boudoir for twelve years, and I haven't sat down in it. The bed, the undressed clothes, the unkempt hair, the undressed flowers, Baidu is all flourishing today, what a joy it is! This means Mulan’s hard-won return to womanhood. “Go out to see your companions, companions. Everyone was shocked and busy. We have been together for twelve years, but we didn’t know Mulan was a girl! "In the ancient military system, ten men were in one fire, and the companions were soldiers with the same fire. Can the companions not be frightened? Who knew that Mulan, who had been fighting together through life and death for twelve years, turned out to be the radiant girl in front of the door! The suspense of the whole poem is solved at this point It turns out that Mulan disguised herself as a man and fought in the army for twelve years. This section has the most comic effect and is also the climax of the whole poem. However, it is also thought-provoking. It’s even harder to disguise yourself without showing traces. How great is Mulan’s inner spiritual power!
The sixth paragraph ends with a metaphor: “The male rabbit’s feet are confused, and the female rabbit’s eyes are blurred. Two rabbits walking next to each other can tell whether I am male or female. "Bewildered is the appearance of jumping, and blurred is the appearance of a rabbit's eyes squinting. These two sentences are intertextual. The male rabbit is confused and confused, and the female rabbit is confused and confused. Two rabbits are running together on the ground. Who can tell the male and female! Mulan fights with everyone, and her dress and behavior are no different from those of a man. How can everyone know that I am a woman? These four sentences praise Mulan's talents and wisdom through the metaphor of a male rabbit and a female rabbit being indistinguishable when running. It certainly conveys the concept of "who said women are inferior to men". This witty and humorous metaphor is a perfect explanation of the miracle of Mulan's disguise as a man, and it is also the lingering sound of comic poetry. , still represents Mulan’s heroic character.
