Excerpt from the original:
Wan Li to Rongji, the mountain is flying. The breath of the new moon is golden, and the cold light is iron. 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. Mulan doesn't need Shang Shulang. She is willing to send her son back to his hometown not far from Wan Li.
Translation:
Not far from Wan Li, the mountains and rivers flew by. The sound of playing ball came from the cold in the north, and the cold moonlight shone on the armor of the soldiers. Soldiers fought many wars, some died for their country, some fought for many years and returned home in triumph.
Returning victorious, he appeared in front of the emperor, who was sitting in the palace. He made great contributions to Mulan and gave her a lot of property. The son of heaven asked Mulan what she wanted. Mulan said that she didn't want to be a businessman, and she wanted to ride a swift horse and take me back to my hometown.
Extended data:
Mulan Poetry is a long narrative folk song in northern China during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is also a Yuefu poem. It tells the story of Mulan disguised as a man, joined the army instead of her father, fought in the battlefield, returned to the DPRK in triumph, made meritorious deeds, and resigned and returned to China, which is full of legend.
This poem is full of folk songs. The whole poem conceives the legendary story of Mulan with "Mulan is a girl", which is full of romance. The complex and simple arrangement is very clever. Although it is about war, it is more about life scenes and children's modality, full of life breath.
In the poem, the psychology of the characters is portrayed in the way of question and answer, which is vivid and meticulous; I am very proud to describe the behavior modality with many careful comparisons; It is unforgettable to summarize the whole poem with humorous metaphors. This makes the work have a strong artistic appeal.
