Mulan Ancestral Hall was founded in the Tang Dynasty. During the Taihe period of Jin Dynasty (A.D.1201-kloc-0/208), a captain from Wu Dun returned to the wine supervisor in Yingguo Town, Gushu County, Defu, rebuilt three halls and temples respectively, and made statues of Mulan. In the second year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1334), Liang Yin Siwen of Suiyang Prefecture proposed to raise 2500 yuan for reconstruction and expansion. In the 11th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1807), the monks Jane Jean and Jane Ke and their disciples Tian He, Tian Zhen and Song Tian raised funds to repair the temple and erect a monument. Due to the reconstruction of past dynasties, the temple covers an area of 1 10,000 square meters, with more than 400 mu of temple land and more than 0 abbots 10.
Unfortunately, this quaint shrine was destroyed by war in 1943. Now there are two surviving monuments. First, in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a monument on the east side of the temple gate "Distinguishing the meaning of general filial piety". The monument is bluestone, 3.6m high and 1 m wide. Both the front and back of the monument are deeply embossed Erlong Yunli play beads, which are symmetrical in layout and generous in shape. The inscription on the seal script is "Correcting the portrait of General Xiao Lie". The four sides of the monument are engraved with patterns, and the top is engraved with two dragon balls by exaggerating the wave temperature. The faucet is big and realistic, and the dragon body is simple and compact, and it is vivid and wonderful. Both sides are engraved with peony patterns, and the lines are lively and smooth, simple but not vulgar. Inscription 3 1 line, full of 68 words, its carved books are exquisite and vigorous. The turtle seat is 0.7 meters high, its head is turtle-shaped, its tail is straight, and its limbs are semi-curved. It looks like lying and lifelike. Inscription: In the second year of Yuan Dynasty, his ancestral home was Tang Deli, and Hou Youzao wrote it. Cao Zhou Li Kejun and Li Ying carved this stone. The monument was appraised by experts, and it is indeed a real stone carving of the Yuan Dynasty. 1982, the monument was rebuilt at the expense of the provincial cultural relics bureau. The roof is sedan-chair-shaped, with four ridges on the spire, and the eaves cover 17 floors. The front and rear garden doors are simple and elegant, and there are walls around the monument building. The other is the monument of "Remember the name of General Xiao Lie" in Qing Dynasty, which stands on the west side of the temple gate. It is 2. 14m high and 0.78m wide, with a square seat. The tablet body is engraved with a deep relief dragon with the title of seal script, and the inscription is an official book. The stone is carved by students from Shangqiu County, Guide House, and students from Shangqiu County, Meng and Mangshan. From 65438 to 0993, Yucheng County held the first Mulan Culture Festival in China. Famous Chinese historians gathered in Shangqiu to analyze the contents of Mulan Ci and the remaining records of Yuanbei. There is no doubt that Mulan's hometown is Yucheng.
Mulan is a heroic song and a tragic poem. "Mulan Ci" was incorporated into the textbooks of primary and secondary schools, and was sung by thousands of young students in Qian Qian. Over the years, Mulan's deeds and image have been put on the stage, and Mulan's joining the army has already spread like wildfire. Her spirit inspired thousands of Chinese sons and daughters to make earth-shattering feats in the battle to defend their country. In order to commemorate her, Yucheng County also has Mulan Middle School, Mulan Railway Station, Mulan Hotel, Mulan Resort, Mulan Industry Group and Mulan Militia Company. Shangqiu also established Mulan Wushu Association, Mulan Drum Team and Mulan Dragon Dance Team. On the eighth day of April every year, on Mulan's birthday, people come to offer sacrifices, and the temple fair is grand. Now, the heroine Mulan's name is not only a household name in our country, but also her good reputation has spread all over the world due to the great influence of Mulan, an animated film produced by Disney Company of the United States. The American news media wrote poems praising that "there was Mulan in China in ancient times, and it was named as the father's army; Now there is a cartoon Mulan, which melts in China and spreads all over the west. "
Hua Mulan's story is widely spread, and it has been a household name for more than 1000 years, but there are still many legends about her surname, household registration and date of birth.
As for her surname, some people say it's Zhu, some people say it's Mulan, and some people say it's Wei. In the Biography of Four Sounds of Apes in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Wei said that her surname was Hua, Mulan, her father Hua Arc was a reserve officer, her elder sister Hua Mulian, her younger brother Hua Xiong, and her mother Yuan, a family of five. This is still an accepted statement.
As for the date of birth, Yao Ying said in "A Journey to Kang" that she came to Xuan Wudi from Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty; Guo Tinglu by Song Xiangfeng said that she came from Sui Dynasty, and Fan Yanlu by Cheng Damao said that she came from the early Tang Dynasty, which is more reliable than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Speaking of her native place, she is thought to be from Liangzhou, Wanxian annals of Hebei Province said that she was from Wanxian, Qingzhi said that she was from Dongwei Village, Qiaoxian County, Yingzhou County, others said that she was from Songzhou or Huangzhou, and Shangqiu County annals of Henan Province said that she was from Qiuhua Song Village, which seems more reasonable in Shangqiu County annals.
However, in any case, as "The History of China Literature Development" said: "Textual research on these nonsense is really worthless. We just need to know that Mulan is the representative of a heroine in the north. "
Indeed, the story of Mulan has been spread to this day, mainly due to the swan song of Mulan Ci, which is a long narrative poem praising the legendary story of Mulan disguised as a man and joined the army as her father. This poem is written like this:
Haw answers haw, Mulan is weaving at home, but she can't hear the loom, only the woman's sigh. Ask a woman what she thinks and what she remembers. She has nothing to think about and nothing to remember. The military post I saw last night was full of soldiers. Twelve volumes of the art of war, each with your grandfather's name. Grandpa has no eldest son and Mulan has no big brother. She is willing to be a pommel horse, so she will sign for you from now on.
Buy horses in the east, saddle dogs in the west, reins in the south and whips in the north. Say goodbye to parents and go to the Yellow River at dusk. I didn't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I heard the Yellow River splashing. But bid farewell to the Yellow River and stay in Montenegro at dusk. I can't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I hear Yanshan Hu riding a horse.
Wan Li to Rongji, the mountain is flying. New Qi Chuan Jin Yan, cold light iron clothes. The general died in battle, and the strong man returned in ten years. See you later, the son of heaven is sitting in the hall. Policy 12 turn, before reward 100. Khan asked him what he wanted, and Mulan didn't need Shang Shulang. I am willing to send my son back to his hometown.
When parents heard that their daughter was coming, they went out to help Guo. Sister-in-law heard that her sister-in-law was coming to take care of red makeup. When I heard my sister coming, I sharpened my knife at pigs and sheep. Open my East Pavilion door and sit on my West Pavilion bed. Take off my wartime robe and put on my old clothes. When the window is decorated with clouds and temples, the mirror is painted yellow.
When you go out to meet your partner, your partner is depressed. After traveling together for twelve years, I didn't know Mulan was a girl!
The male rabbit's feet are confused and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred. When two rabbits walk on the ground, Ann can tell whether I am a male or a female.
In the poem, the son of heaven is called "Khan", and the fighting places are all in the north. Not to mention the Yellow River, Montenegro killed Hushan, which is in the southeast of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Yanshan Mountain refers to Yanran Mountain, which is now Hang 'ai Mountain in the Mongolian People's Republic. Mulan took part in the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran.
The Northern Wei Dynasty was founded by the Tuoba Department of Xianbei nationality. He was named the last king of the Western Jin Dynasty and was later destroyed by Fu Jian. Fu Jian was defeated in the Battle of Feishui, and Tuoba GUI restored the country and renamed it "Wei". After 50 or 60 years of war, the "five wild flowers" ended and the Yellow River Basin was unified. It has been 86 years since it spread to Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. After the Five Emperors, Emperor Xiaowen advocated Chinese culture in the Central Plains, moved the capital to Luoyang, and implemented the policy of sinicization. Today's "Yuan" surnames are mostly descendants of the Northern Wei Dynasty royal family. Hua Mulan lived in such a society at that time because of her long-term commitment and social and economic development under Emperor Xiaowen's policy of land equalization.
At this time, the nomadic forces in the north, which had been established for 158 years, were crawling, that is, invading the south softly. The regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty repeatedly "drove away from the host country and headed for Montenegro" and "traveled three thousand miles north to Yanran Mountain" and fought with Rouran.
When there are no heroes in the world, there will be heroines. When there were no outstanding men in the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran War, there would be an outstanding heroine Mulan.
The opening of Mulan Poetry explains the military emergency at that time: "Khan ordered more troops" and "Twelve Books of the Army". In Mulan's family, she has a younger brother besides her elderly parents. How can her elderly father go on an expedition to kill the enemy? However, the call of the motherland is obligatory. Faced with this double test, Mulan stepped forward and said, "I am willing to make a pommel horse for this city from now on and sign for my grandfather."
Mulan's good daughter is willing to join the army instead of her father. In fact, it is the condensation of her love for her father and her loyalty to the motherland, and it is the expression of her true heroic quality.
Mulan is about to go out. She "buys horses in the East City, saddles in the West City, reins in the South City and whips in the North City."
How anxious and nervous she is, and how high her morale is. She said goodbye to her parents in the morning and stayed on the bank of the Yellow River at night. How anxious she was to March, how nervous the military situation was, and the military orders were like mountains. As a young girl, she left the boudoir and went to the battlefield. Why not go to another world? In the twilight, a female soldier is waiting for her pillow. What a desolate and miserable state this is. "The Yellow River is splashed with water." "Hu Qiming chirps in Yanshan Mountain."
"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years." It can be seen that wars are frequent and the years are long. It is not easy for Hua Mulan to come back alive with so many general butterfly blood. That is:
The north wind vibrates the desert, and Hu Bing waits for it; The Lord will be arrogant and the enemy will attack;
Wild trees with flags; Chuanhui Group Training; The focus of the law is terrible, and the prestige is humble;
The shovel pierced the bone, shocking the sand, blending the subject and the object, and confusing the mountains and rivers;
Acoustic analysis of mountains and rivers, latent collapse of lightning. If the poor yin congeals, the cape is cold;
Snow has no shin, but hard ice is in the beard. When it is bitter and cold, it is false and strong,
With Ling's murderous look, we can kill each other. Cut off the trench and cross the foot soldiers;
A surname new drop, the general was wiped out; Bodies are all over the port shore, and the Great Wall Cave is full of blood. ……
The birds are silent, the mountains are silent, the night is long, the wind is getting weaker and the soul is heavy.
Ghosts and gods gather clouds, the sun is cold and the grass is short, and the moonlight is bitter and frosty.
Mulan came back, which was not easy. She pays more attention to the value of life and knows the warmth of family. She refused the reward of the son of heaven and didn't want to be an official in the DPRK, leaving her wealth behind. She is willing to go to Wan Li and return to her hometown as soon as possible.
She came back, and her elderly parents helped her out to meet her. My sister made up to welcome me, and my brother sharpened his knife to meet my sister's return with practical actions. Seeing all this, Mulan was sincerely happy. It is difficult to risk your life on the battlefield for twelve years. It's hard not to show a trace of twelve years' disguise, but it's all over, and how great Hua Mulan's inner spiritual strength should be.
After the days calmed down, her former friends came to see her again. She always pretends to regard them as her own daughters. Hua Mulan said to her frightened former friends in her heart, Do you know? In the past, I fought bloody battles with you and made great contributions; I am a girl who doesn't want to be Shang after returning to China.
Mulan is proud that my daughter has recovered her true colors.
If women are given a chance, they will do better than boys!
