The Artistic Features of Mulan's Drama

After more than 50 years of stage practice, Mulan, a Henan opera, is still circulating, even being made into a film by domestic directors and spread abroad. Its story has influenced many people. In ancient times, it reverberated in China for decades with its well-known classic aria. At that time, it was girlish, high-spirited and unrestrained, showing the prestige of the general before the battle. This combination of rigidity and flexibility is harmonious, unified, interdependent and complementary.
