Mulan is real. There are two major proofs in history that can explain this. One is the northern folk song Mulan Poetry in Yuefu Poetry Collection, and the other is the drama Female Mulan Joining the Army as Father by Xu Wei, a playwright in Ming Dynasty. Through two proofs, we can draw the conclusion that Mulan does exist.

Mulan's life

Mulan's father used to be a soldier. He raised Mulan as a boy. When Mulan was a teenager, he often took her to the river outside the village to practice martial arts, ride horses, shoot arrows and dance knives and sticks. In her spare time, Mulan also likes reading her father's old war books. After the reform of Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the social economy developed and people's lives were relatively stable.

However, at that time, the northern nomadic people harassed the south, and the Northern Wei regime stipulated that each family should send a man to the front. Mulan's father is old, how can he go to war? When her younger brother was young, Mulan decided to join the army instead of her father, and began her military life for 12 years.

It is difficult for many men to go to the border to fight, not to mention that Mulan had to hide her identity and kill the enemy with her friends, but Mulan finally completed her mission and returned home after 12. Because of her contribution, the emperor wanted to ask her to be a big official, but Mulan refused.
