What drama is Mulan?

Mulan is a Henan opera, and the story comes from the folk song Mulan Poetry written by Yuefu. The play was transplanted from Ma's Peking Opera Mulan Joining the Army and further processed by Wang. It was written by 195 1 for Chang Xiangyu to support the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it was one of the Henan Opera repertoires that toured northwest, central and south China at that time.

Mulan, an ancient heroine in China, was loyal, filial and righteous. Her father defeated the invading nation in the army, which was passed down through the ages, and her deeds were also passed down. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty named her "General Filial Piety". The spread of Mulan story should be attributed to the folk song Mulan Ci. Hua Mulan's deeds are shown in many literary works, such as movies, TV dramas, song and dance Henan operas, etc.
