General of Filial Piety - Hua Mulan, an ancient Chinese national heroine, loyal and filial, famous for defeating the invading peoples in the north by taking her father's place in the army, was posthumously named General of Filial Piety by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and set up an ancestral shrine to commemorate her, which had a profound impact on the whole world.　　Mulan, also known as the Mulan Poem, is a folk song and narrative poem of the Northern Dynasties. Hua Mulan is a legendary heroine of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, and her story is also a tragic heroic epic. Hua Mulan was a native of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and people in the north like to practice martial arts. Hua Mulan's father was a former soldier and raised Mulan as a boy. When Mulan was about ten years old, he used to take Mulan to the small river outside the village, practicing martial arts, horseback riding, archery, sword dancing and stick making. In his spare time, Mulan also enjoyed reading his father's old military books.

However, at that time, the northern nomads, the Zoran tribe, kept coming south to harass, and the Northern Wei regime stipulated that one man from each family should go to the front line.　Mulan's father was too old to go to the battlefield, and her younger brother was too young, so Mulan decided to take her father's place in the army, and from then on, she began her years-long military life. Going to the border to fight is grueling for many men, not to mention that Mulan had to hide her identity and kill the enemy with her buddies. But Hua Mulan finally accomplished her mission and returned home in triumph after more than ten years (12 years in the original text, an imaginary reference). Because of her great achievements, the emperor thought she was capable of serving in the imperial court and was appointed to a post, however, Hua Mulan refused and asked the emperor to allow her to return home to make amends and honor her parents.　For thousands of years, Hua Mulan has been a woman respected by the Chinese for her bravery and simplicity, and in 1998, Disney adapted the story of Hua Mulan into an animated film, which was well received all over the world.　The Poem of Mulan was included in primary and secondary school textbooks and has been recited by millions of young students for generations. Mulan's deeds and image have been brought to the stage and have been performed for a long time. Her spirit has inspired thousands of Chinese sons and daughters to defend their country in a singable way.

Hua Mulan (some scholars testify that she was born in 412 and died in 502 at the age of 90. One says that she was born in 412, returned home after 12 years in the army, and committed suicide because she did not want to be the consort of the Lord of Wei.) Her story has been widely rumored for more than a thousand years, but there are still many different legends and opinions about her family name, residence, and date of birth.　About her family name, some people say it is Zhu, some say it is a compound surname Mulan, some say it is Wei, Xu Wei in the Ming Dynasty in the "Legend of the Four Monkeys" said that she was surnamed Hua, Mulan, father Hua arc (said Zhu Wenlu) is a reserve officer, elder sister Hua Mulian, younger brother Hua Xiong, mother surnamed Yuan, a family of five, which is still accepted by the argument.　As for the age of birth, Yao Ying said in Kang Lifestyle Chronicle that she was from Emperor Xiaowen to Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty; Song Xiangfeng's Tinglu said she was from Emperor Gong of Sui Dynasty, and Cheng Dazhong's Xuanfanlu said she was from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, which is more reliable than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.　Speaking of the place of origin, Yao Ying thought she was Liangzhou people, "Qing Yitong Zhi" said she was Yingzhou Qiao County East Wei village people, others said she was Songzhou people or Huangzhou people, Henan Province, "Shangqiu County Records" said she was Qiu Hua Song village people, seems to be "Shangqiu County Records" is more reasonable.　In any case, however, as the History of the Development of Chinese Literature says, "There is really no value in examining this nonsense, and it is enough for us to know that Hua Mulan is a representative of a valiant woman of the north."　

Hua Mulan's deeds have been passed down to the present day, mainly thanks to the "Mulan's Rhetoric", a masterpiece of folk songs, which is a long narrative poem celebrating the legendary story of Hua Mulan, who disguised herself as a man and joined the army on behalf of her father.　Henan Tongzhi: "Sui Mulan, a native of Songzhou, surnamed Wei. When Emperor Gong sent troops to the garrison, Mulan had the wisdom and courage to go out on behalf of her father, and was rewarded and returned. The townspeople built a temple for him. Hou have made "filial piety martyr general ancestral statue discernment record" said: "general Wei, this place son, name Mulan. Calendar year to record, fighting ten eight battles, Zexun twelve turns. Hajj, the son of heaven like its work and courage, awarded to Shangshu. Lung favor not to go, pleading for the province to see. Embrace the troops back to Qiao, build father's room, the release of military uniforms, resume boudoir, all shocked. Xian said that since the people since the birth of the people, the cover has not been seen. The guards振旅还，以异事闻于朝朝。 Called back to Que, want to be in the palace, the general said: I am not comparable to the king's system of etiquette. Refused with a death oath. Forces added pressure, so he killed himself. So posthumously have filial piety and martyrdom of the posthumous title also ......" Ming Liu Weide "Han Mulan (e) biography" contains: "the girl Mulan, surnamed Han, formerly known as e, Langzhong people in Sichuan."

Mulan Poetry

Guo Maoqian edited "Lefu Poetry Collection" in the "Mulan Poetry" in the notes that "I do not know in what generation". According to the Records of Ancient and Modern Music, "The Mulan Poems were first published in the folklore by Wei Yuanfu, the Tang dynasty's governor of Shofang." However, the "Records of Ancient and Modern Music" has long been lost. This statement is still controversial today. See also Mulan Poetry.　The folk song "Mulan Poem" can still be recited by many people in their adulthood, but a closer look at the verses always gives them a strange flavor. It is a very mixed poem, with different voices from different eras hidden behind the verses. The sunset of the Northern and Southern Dynasties left long and short shadows on the story of Mulan's military campaigns, which are projected onto the books of contemporary people.

"Mulan Poem" (11 photos) Original Poem

-- Guo Maoqian, "Collected Poems of Lefu" (乐府诗集) Kiki, Kiki, Kiki, Mulan is weaving in the house. I don't hear the sound of the loom, but only the sigh of the woman.　I ask the woman what she is thinking about, what she is remembering. She has nothing to think about and nothing to remember. Last night, I saw a military post, and the Khan was counting his troops. There are twelve volumes of military books, each with the name of a master. I don't have a son, and Mulan doesn't have an elder brother. Mulan is willing to buy a horse for you, and from now on she will fight for you.　Buy a horse in the east market, a saddle blanket in the west market, a bridle in the south market, and a saddle blanket in the north market. Buy a bridle in the south market and a whip in the north market. I left my mother and master on the first day and stayed by the Yellow River in the evening. I don't hear my father and mother calling me, but I hear the Yellow River flowing and splashing. When I left the Yellow River, I went to the Black Mountain. I don't hear my mother's voice calling me, but I hear the chirping of the Hu riders on Yanshan Mountain.　I have traveled ten thousand miles to the battlefield, and the mountains and passes are as if they were flying. The air of the new day was like a golden watchman's rattle, and the cold light shone on the iron clothes. Generals die in a hundred battles, and brave men return in ten years.　When I returned to see the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven sat in the Hall of Heaven. He was rewarded with a hundred thousand rewards. The Khan asked what he wanted, but Mulan did not need a minister. I would like to send my son back to his hometown.　When my father and mother heard that my daughter was coming, they went out to support each other; when my sister heard that my sister was coming, she took care of her red makeup; when my little brother heard that my sister was coming, he sharpened his sword and turned it towards the pigs and sheep. Open the door of my east pavilion, sit on my bed in the west pavilion, take off my war-time robe, put on my old-time clothes, take care of my temples in the window, and post flowers in the mirror. When I went out to see my companions, they were all busy: I had traveled with them for twelve years, but I did not know that Mulan was a girl.　The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, the female rabbit's eyes are confused; the two rabbits are walking along the ground, how can I tell if I am male or female?

The Northern Dynasties music folk song, also known as the Mulan Poem, was written after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, and was embellished by writers in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Originally recorded in the Southern Chen Dynasty monk Zhi Shi "Ancient and Modern Music Records", more than 300 words long. It is an excellent narrative poem in China's ancient folk literature. It is about the heroine Mulan who disguised herself as a man to join the army for her father and finally returned home with honor.　It is a widely circulated northern folk song called "Mulan Rhetoric", which features a heroic northern woman named Hua Mulan. This long narrative poem tells the legendary story of Hua Mulan, who disguised herself as a man and joined the army on behalf of her father.

Background of Creation

The truth of the times of the creative process, first of all, it must be clear that "Mulan Poem" is a folk song. The earliest in the Southern Chen Dynasty, a monk called Zhi Shi, compiled a book of "ancient and modern music", recorded "song lyrics have" Mulan "a song". In the Song Dynasty, Guo Maoqian compiled a collection of poems called "Lefu Poetry", and in the notes to "Mulan Poetry", he said, "I don't know in what generation it started", meaning that there was no exact date of its composition.　The folk songs of the same period in the Northern Dynasties used the technique of rising at the beginning, often with different songs and the same words, for example, there is a song in "Folding the Willow", the first six lines of which are "Ci ci he li li, the woman when the window weaving. The loom is not heard, but the woman sighs. What is the woman thinking about? What does she remember?" The beginning of "Mulan Poem" is obviously of the same origin as "Folding the Willow". Together with some key words and details in the poem, it can be proved that the prototype of "Mulan Poem" was undoubtedly produced in the Northern Dynasty; during the Liang and Chen Dynasties in the Southern Dynasty, the poem was spread to the South, and was documented and organized; during the Tang Dynasty, there was a Shuofang provincial governor named Wei Yuanfu, who obtained this folk song which had been in circulation for many years, and once again organized it and refined it, and probably also referred to the "Gu and Jin". It is likely that he also referred to the version of the "Records of Ancient and Modern Music", and thus came up with the final version of the "Mulan Poem".　In the lyrics of modern songs, it is said, "Shepherd the horses in the east and herd the sheep in the west", but in real life, do you not go to the west to herd horses and not to the east to herd sheep? This is the same as "Open the door of my east pavilion, sit on my bed in the west pavilion. Take off my war-time robe and put on my old-time clothes. When the window to take care of the cloud temples, to the mirror to paste flowers yellow", are also intertextual, is the fun of the spread. The Northern Dynasties, is the era of sexual exuberance, women herding horses, sheep, war, are very powerful, not letting the eyebrows. The story of Mulan, therefore, should have many cases for its derived material.　The creation, circulation, change and finishing of folk song genre works generally have to go through a long fermentation time, and it is impossible to be accomplished overnight. The mixture of the marks of various eras in the Mulan Poems is an excellent illustration of this literary rule. For example, suppose that in a few days someone is going to rehearse a new play "Ming Yinglie", there is such a detail: Liu Bowen for the Yongle Emperor to build Beijing, the two are deliberating in the Yuanmingyuan, the Prince came to see said: Dad, when to take me hunting? So five hundred years later, some experts according to this examination, and produced a controversy: some experts pointed out that the name of the play "Ming Yinglie", then it should be the end of the Qing Dynasty; however, some experts also based on "Liu Bowen for the Yongle Emperor to build Beijing," this is not based on the historical facts of the storyline, it is assumed that the play must have been shot on the However, according to the storyline of "Liu Bo Wen built Beijing for the Yongle Emperor", which has no basis in history, some experts speculate that the play must have been shot in 2000, when the trend of "drama" was popular; and according to the name of "Dad", the play must have been produced in 2006, when the play used its own experience to talk about history, and the classics were fragmented and processed. This is how the chronological divergence of literary works generally occurs. The Magnolia Poem is no exception.

Detailed Analysis

What era is The Poem of Mulan a product of? Why is Hua Mulan surnamed Hua? Where exactly is her hometown?　The original text of Mulan's Poem is paradoxical, and the symbols of the era are intricately intertwined: the loom: Mulan weaved at home, followed by the phrase "out of Guo Sang Fu will be", which suggests that Mulan's home was within the city limits. This keyword suggests that Mulan's family lived in a Han Chinese way of production, or at least Han Chineseized Xianbei people. "Last night", why did the court notify the household of the expedition roster at night? According to our common sense in life, shouldn't it be announced by opening a big list during the day? I'm afraid this is the legacy of the northern nomads. Northern tribes, out to graze during the day, only to return to the tribe at night, so the major military affairs, are notified to the household at night. Northern Wei Xianbei people into the Central Plains soon, should also maintain this legacy. Military book: that is, military book. The Northern Dynasties, the world military system transition to the government military system, military households, Shi family generations out of the soldiers, the father retired son following, the household is also different from the civilian households, usually production, training, wartime campaign. During the Northern Dynasty and the beginning of Sui Dynasty, the social status of such families was lower than that of civil households, but higher than that of slave girls. In the time of Emperor Yang of Sui, the military households were integrated into the civil household, and the difference disappeared. Khan - Son of Heaven:In the verse, the first line "Khan" ("Khan's army") and the next line "Son of Heaven" ("Returning to see the Son of Heaven"), refer to the "Khan" and "Son of Heaven". "), referring to the same person, that is, the emperor, the nomadic people called it "Khan", the Han Chinese called it "Son of Heaven". Such a confusing name, it should be because of the Northern Wei Xiaowen Emperor began to forced Sinicization, do not speak Chinese is not allowed to be a civil servant, and the folk rushed to change their mouths, but not long after the mouth, and sometimes still have to emerge a little bit of "accent" of the sake. According to the examination, until the Sui Dynasty, some Xianbei military households still have an accent.　City saddle horse: this paragraph is very strange. Mulan went to search the streets and bought a lot of equipment back. Before the Tang Dynasty, the Shibei or government soldiers were equipped and supplied by the state, while from the Tang Dynasty onwards, the government soldiers had to bring their own equipment and supplies, so the background of the depiction of this paragraph would not be earlier than the early Tang Dynasty. As for the inside of the south-east and north-west to buy the same way of writing, called intertext, describing Mulan searching the streets, ran a very large circle, very serious equipment, for the latter Mulan was able to fight and make a success of the padding. Take now, like the old man grating moonlight family syntax: "a day do not know how to live, today on the five love to buy a pair of shoes, tomorrow shelves in the street to buy a bag, the day after tomorrow to buy a set of clothes on the Internet, just know that the brush card" (editor's note: the five love market for the wholesale distribution of clothing weaving and spinning in Shenyang, the middle of the street is Shenyang's famous commercial pedestrian street.) Twelve:Twelve appears three times in the text, the military book is twelve volumes, Zexun is twelve turns, the expedition is actually twelve years. This is obviously an approximate number. The ancients used to use imaginary numbers in poems, such as three, nine, ten, twelve, one thousand, ten thousand, etc. But the fact that twelve is used so frequently suggests that twelve was a popular number that was more customarily used in poems during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Montenegro: not Montenegro in Liaoning. According to some evidence, the Black Mountain here is "Kill Tiger Mountain", 100 miles southeast of Hohhot City in present-day Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Yanshan: not Beijing Yanshan, but "Yanshan", that is, today's Mongolian people **** and the country's territory of Hangai Mountain. "Kill Tiger Mountain" and "Yanran Mountain" generation, are the Northern Wei Dynasty and the famous battlefield of the war between the Zoran. Caixun: In the early years of Sui's reign, Sui adopted the system of the Later Zhou Dynasty, placing eleven grades of honor below the upper pillar state to reward meritorious service. The system of "twelve ranks" was established in the seventh year of Emperor Wu De of the Tang Dynasty. This is again the time of the Tang Dynasty. Flower yellow: the yellow of the forehead and the yellow between the eyebrows. This kind of makeup originated in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Originally, Emperor Yuwen Bin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty prohibited women from applying powder, except for concubines and courtesans, all of whom had to wear "yellow eyebrow and ink makeup". This shows that the "Mulan Poetry" can not be produced earlier than the end of the Xuan Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, by the time of the Tang Dynasty, yellow flowers were no longer popular. Red Makeup:Sister welcome sister, "when the household care red makeup". Red makeup is rouge, belongs to the ranks of the application of powder, indicating that this sister is again the Tang Dynasty.

Based on the description of the Northern Dynasties folk song "Mulan Diction" (also known as the "Mulan Poetry") (after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, in the Sui and Tang Dynasty literati touched up), for the historical age of Hua Mulan, there are two main folk sayings are: Hua Mulan

The first one is: during the years of the Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Hua Mulan took her father's place in the army and joined the army in his place. After the war, the court wanted to grant her the title of Shangshulang, but she politely refused.　The second theory is: Sui Gongdi Yi Ning years, Turkic offenses, Mulan female disguised as a man, on behalf of his father from the army, the battlefield for many years, and repeatedly built meritorious achievements. Hua Mulan's deeds have been passed down to the present day, mainly due to the "Mulan Rhetoric" this side of the Northern Dynasties folk song, which is a long narrative poem by the Song Dynasty Guo Maoqian compiled, celebrating the legendary story of Hua Mulan, who disguised herself as a man to fight on behalf of her father in the army. (The Mulan Diction is recognized as a Northern Dynasty folk song, and lacks a close relationship with the Sui Dynasty; this late-Sui-dynasty claim, however, conflicts with the full text in several places, but it is not clear why it has been circulated.)

Surname Explanation

According to Jiao Sash of the Ming Dynasty, in his Jiao's Pengyuan, "Mulan, a woman of Zhu's family, was sent from the army on behalf of her father. Seventy miles north of Huangpi County in Huangzhou, Sui Mulan County. There are Mulan Mountain, General's Mound, Temple of Loyalty, enough to make up for the lack of the "Lefu inscription." ; Qing Dynasty "Kangxi Huangpi County Records": "Mulan, the county Zhu's female ...... fake man on behalf of his father's western expedition ...... so far its home is still under the Mulan Mountain." Can be seen, Mulan's family name Zhu, Western Han people, born in present-day Wuhan City, Huangpi District, Yaoji Town, Dachengtan Village.

Flower Mulan's family name, place of origin, etc., the history of the book is not accurate, therefore, the Mulan controversy throughout the generations. The earliest Mulan's origin is the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the beginning of the North and South Dynasties He Chengtian, who said in the book "Surname Court" that Mulan Rencheng people. He believed that Mulan's family name was Mu, after Duanmu Chi (Zigong), a disciple of Confucius. The Duanmu clan had changed its surname to Mu to avoid hatred. Zigong was originally from Lu, that is, the area of present-day Qufu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Qufu had belonged to the county of Rencheng, so He Chengtian said that Mulan is Rencheng people, but this is not recognized by the academic community. Currently the most controversial are Bozhou in Anhui Province, Yucheng in Henan Province, Huangpi in Hubei Province, and Yan'an in Shaanxi Province. Yucheng from Niangniang Temple to Mulan Temple, and then attached to Mulan hometown; Huangpi from Mulan tree called Mulan Mountain, built Mulan Temple, and then attached to Mulan hometown; Yan'an in the Yellow River west more than a hundred miles, can also be "resignation of the masters and mothers to go, the Yellow River side of the twilight," where there is a mountain of ten thousand flowers, but also be attached to the Mulan hometown. The above three places all think that Mulan is a person from Sui or Tang Dynasty.　1、Yingguo Town, Yucheng County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, is the hometown of Mulan, as evidenced by the Flower Mulan Ancestral Hall.　On the Beijing-Kowloon Railway line, there is a Yucheng Mulan Station, not far from the Hua Mulan Ancestral Hall, is the former residence of Mulan in the Sui Dynasty. Shrine was built in the Tang Dynasty, covers an area of 72,000 square meters, from south to north in order of the main gate, hall, dedication hall, after the building and the courtyards, *** more than a hundred rooms. Inside the gate aisle, there is a tall warhorse of Hua Mulan; in the main hall, there is a statue of Hua Mulan in military attire and guards on both sides; in the back building, there is a statue of a young girl of Hua Mulan, and the whole family is like a family; inside and outside of the ancestral hall, there are more than ten tablets and inscriptions written by successive officials and celebrities praising Hua Mulan, inscribing poems, calligraphy and paintings, and so on. For example, Du Mu of Tang Dynasty wrote: "A man with a bent bow and a battlefield, he used to draw eyebrows with her in his dreams. How many times I thought of returning the wine, and how many times I wished Princess Ming on the pile of Buddha's clouds". Unfortunately, the original ancestral hall was destroyed in a war in 1943, but it was rebuilt in recent years, and there are still well-preserved monuments of the ancestral hall of Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. on May 22, 2007, China Folk Literature and Artist Association made a decision, naming Yucheng County as the "Hometown of Mulan in China" and agreed to set up the "China Mulan Culture Research Center" in the county. Research Center".　Mulan was buried in Yan'an, a sacred place with a victory. Mulan family lived in Yan'an city south of Wanhua Township flower loess head of the village, for the flower surname, the Northern Wei people. After her death, she was buried on the hill next to the village, which was called "Flower Mausoleum". The emperor also sent people to send a funeral, there are stone steps under the tomb, on both sides of the stone people, stone horses, stone lions, stone sheep. 1984, in Yan'an Wanhua Mountain restoration of the Mulan Mausoleum. In 1984, the Mulan Mausoleum was restored in Wanhua Mountain of Yan'an. The garden is elegant and spectacular with carved beams and painted files, and there is a tomb mound built according to the mountain, on which there are stone monuments engraved with "Poem of Mulan" and "Tomb of General Flower" written by Shu Tong and poems praising Flower Mulan written by famous poets such as Bai Juyi and Du Mu. Mulan's favorite peony flowers are planted all over the garden, and there is a stone statue of Mulan in military attire, jumping on a horse and crossing a sword, which realistically reproduces the heroism of Mulan in those years.　2. Bozhou City in Anhui Province also has historical books and cultural relics to prove that it is the hometown of Hua Mulan.　Bozhou said that Hua Mulan was a Han Dynasty person, earlier than the North Dynasty Mulan rhetoric, logical. There is a mausoleum on the outskirts of the city and several stone monuments.　Mulan Bozhou people said mainly based on the following: (a) the Ming Dynasty, by the Emperor's Royal approval of the "Daming Yitongzhi": "Mulan Wei, Bozhou people. Tasted on behalf of his father garrison finish (county), Tang Xiaolie General".　(B) the Qing dynasty, "Qing Yitongzhi" cited "Daming Yitongzhi" cloud: "Mulan surnamed Wei, Bozhou people. When Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Xiong Nu invaded the north, sent within the county garrison. Mulan on behalf of his father for the garrison, to merit a small school, the garrison is complete county, so complete the human sacrifice. General Xiaolie, Tang was also awarded."　(C) since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "Fengyang Fu Zhi", "Yingzhou Fu Zhi", "Baoding Fu Zhi" in unison, all said "Mulan Wei, Bozhou people." Guidefu Zhi: "Mulan, Bo's Qiaoqiao people also."　(d) Ancient "Bozhou Zhi", "Finish County Zhi" said: "Mulan Wei, Bozhou people".　(E) the Qing dynasty by the emperor of the large book "ancient and modern book integration" in the words "Mulan Wei, Bozhou people."　(F) the Ming Dynasty, the Royal Historian (Royal Historian, self-proclaimed under the column of history) He Zuguang once made "Mulan Ancestral Shrine Sai Shenqu" 12, he said in the preface: "Mulan, Bo people, Wei's female."　(7) Mulan Ancestral Hall in Wanxian County (now known as Shunping County) was inscribed in the Yuan Dynasty as "General Han Xiaolie's Record," which reads, "The god's surname is Wei, and her name is Mulan, and she is from Bozhou."　(H) Mulan garrison Yanshan, "Yanshan series of records" book on Mulan's record is more detailed, cloud: "complete the county outside the east gate of the temple of filial piety, the list is said to be filial piety and martyrdom of the general." The Qing Yitong Zhi" cited "Daming Yitong Zhi" cloud: "county east or cloud that Mulan woman tasted on behalf of her father garrison this. Tang Feng Xiaolie General." An ancient monument said: "Mulan Wei, Bozhou people."　(ix) Scholars through the ages, such as the Yuan Dynasty scholar Da Shi'an, the Ming Dynasty scholar Zhu Guozhen, the Ming Dynasty poet Wu Yaoqui, etc., all in their own writings to be clear and unambiguous: "Mulan's family name is Wei, Bozhou people."　(x) Mulan hometown Bozhou and Mulan garrison place Yanshan area have a lot of legends, coincidentally: Mulan is a woman in the Han Dynasty, from the background of the army is also the Xiongnu offenses.　3、Hubei Huangpi County: According to some historical records, 20 miles north of Hubei Huangpi County for Mulan's hometown, Mulan County was once set in ancient times.　In the "Hubei Tongzhi", "Huangpi County" because Huangpi has Mulan Temple, Mulan General Mound. Mulan ancient biography" said: "Mulan General Huang County Xiling people also." Qing "loyalty and filial piety and courage and martyrdom strange female biography" said: "Mulan Zhu surname, for the Lake Canton Huangzhou Province Xiling County Shuanglong town people." History shows that Hubei Huangpi people "and Mulan with the same origin" of the biggest reason. Huangpi Shuanglong Town, there is a "Mulan Hill", the north slope of the mountain has a large mound, the mound before the tombstone inscribed "Royal Decree Mulan General Tombstone Preface". Mulan Mountain still exists "Tang Mulan General Square", engraved with "loyalty, filial piety and courage".　Historical relics
