What's Mulan's surname? Textual research on Mulan's surname?

Hua Mulan, a heroine who has been told through the ages, has made immortal contributions to safeguarding national unity in the war, and is worthy of being an indomitable heroine and national hero. The image of General Mulan is a household name, with far-reaching and enduring influence. But for thousands of years, there have been different opinions about Mulan's life experience. The focus of the dispute is: Is there Mulan? Which dynasty was Mulan born in? Where is Mulan from? What's Mulan's surname? Wait a minute. In view of the above four questions that people are generally concerned about, the textual research is as follows: 1. Is there a Mulan? From ancient times to now, both locals and foreigners think that Mulan is only a character in literary works, but she is not. The reason is that Mulan has only been seen in Mulan Ci, and there is no official record, just the legend of unofficial history and so on. The author believes that this view is inaccurate. First, Mulan was not first seen in Mulan Ci, but was mentioned long before Mulan Ci came out. As everyone in the circle knows, "Mulan Ci" first appeared in the book "Ancient and Modern Music Record" edited by Shi Zhijiang of the Chen Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the famous scholar He Chengtian (370-447) who was born in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty and the early Southern and Northern Dynasties has already mentioned Mulan in the book "Surname Garden". As early as more than 100 years before the publication of Mulan Ci, Mulan was mentioned. How can we say that Mulan was first seen in Mulan Ci? The second is a temple dedicated to Mulan, which appeared at the latest in the Tang Dynasty. Du Mu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, went to Mulan Mountain and wrote a poem called Mulan Temple. In China, there are no temples for characters in pure literature. No matter what temple is built, it has its original incarnation. Therefore, Cheng Dachang, a scholar in Song Dynasty who once suspected that Mulan Ci was an allegory, saw Du Mu's poems and marveled in his book "Performing Fanlu": "Look at Du Mu's poems, which have both the appearance of a temple and the appearance of a girl, then it is a real person! Not the same! " Thirdly, in China's ancient poems, especially in a historical period before and after Mulan Ci appeared, almost all the so-called "literary images" in poems have their true prototypes. Therefore, we can't judge ancient times by modern literary creation. We can boldly say that Mulan did exist in Chinese history. Second, which dynasty did Mulan come from? At present, there are three opinions about Mulan's life age: one is the Han Dynasty; Second, the Northern and Southern Dynasties; The third is the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Which statement is correct? This needs historical data to prove. Mulan Ci was first seen in Chen in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Before that, He Chengtian also mentioned Mulan in the family court, and in the book of Nanqi County Records, it was mentioned that Mulan County had been established in Huangpi, Hubei Province. Accordingly, Mulan lived no later than the Northern and Southern Dynasties and no later than He Chengtian. Imagine: At that time, the name of Mulan by He Chengtian was well known all over the world, indicating that Mulan lived much earlier than He Chengtian. Therefore, the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties are at least hard to convince. Therefore, there is evidence for Mulan's statement in the Han Dynasty. Mulan once guarded Yanshan Mountain. In Wanxian County, Hebei Province, at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, there have been temples dedicated to Mulan since ancient times. There is also a Yuan Dynasty tablet named "The Story of General Han Xiaolie". The tablet reads: "When Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was in power, he was confined to invading the territory, covering the whole world for self-defense, and the priests should guard it. Father is in great pain, and no one can replace him. Lamented for a long time, actually. In God's boudoir, I felt sorry for my father, that is, I washed lead powder, took off my comb, changed my military uniform, wore armor and ran to the army. Raise the flag to cut the generals, attack the city pool slightly, and no one is the front. He has been in the army for twelve years, and he has made great contributions repeatedly, made the first contribution and won awards. He is willing to go back to his hometown and serve his parents. Wendy Jia Yan, especially his ambition. Han Shi tasted "Mulan Ci", which was explained in front, and Tang Dumu also sang it later. " This monument was built in the third year of Shunzhi in Yilin, Yuan Ning (1332), and it is the earliest monument to record Mulan's deeds. Judging from the inscription, the Han Dynasty mentioned in it is Mulan Ci, which fully shows that Mulan was born early, and Mulan was born in the Han Dynasty. Where is Mulan from? People always want to add luster to their hometown with the heroic beauty that lasts forever, and Mulan's surname and native place have not been confirmed by historians. Therefore, the dispute over Mulan has existed throughout the ages. The earliest mention of Mulan's native place was He Chengtian at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He said Mulan was from Rencheng, whose surname was Yuan. Records of Wanxian County in Hebei Province: Mulan's surname is Wei, and she is from Bozhou. "Records of Bozhou, Anhui Province" contains: "Mulan, Hua Laker, surnamed Wei, is from Dongwei Village, Qiaoxian County (now Bozhou)." There is an inscription in Beierli, Yingkuo Town, Yucheng County, Henan Province that Mulan is from Yucheng. In the Ming Dynasty, Zou's Chivalrous Biography said: "Mulan is also from Shaanxi." In addition, Mulan, a Henan opera (made into a film in 1950s), also said that Mulan was from Yan 'an, Shaanxi. The county records of Hubei, Huangzhou and Huangpi recorded Mulan as a native of Huangpi. For the above statement, most scholars believe that Mulan is from Huangpi, Hubei Province through on-the-spot investigation. First, many historical records record that Mulan was from Huangpi. According to Cosmic Tale, there is a Mulan Mountain six miles north of Huangpi County, Hubei Province, and there is a Mulan Temple on the mountain in the Tang Dynasty. Du Mu came here when he was the secretariat of Huangzhou and wrote a poem called Mulan Temple. The master in Liyuan wrote a novel "The Story of Mulan's Strange Daughter". Xiu Qing people prefaced this book in August of the 21st year of Guangxu (1895). The preface says: The Tang book says: Mulan, surnamed Zhu, is from Xiling. He bent his bow and rode a horse, understood the military strategy, fought in the desert, made great contributions, sealed the general, and returned home in triumph. In 2004, CCTV and Mulan TV Series of Guangzhou Military Region Political Department went to huangpi district for textual research, which also confirmed that Mulan was from Shuanglong Town, that is, Dachengtan Village, Yao Ji Town, a few miles north of Mulan Mountain in Huangpi today. Second, in ancient times, Huang Bei once set up Mulan County after Mulan. According to the Records of Huangpi County, Mulan, the daughter of Zhu Yi (word Shoufu) in Shuanglong Town, north of Mulan Mountain, dressed as a man at the age of 18 and joined the army for her father. She fought bravely for 12 years, "wiped out Hu Qiang and made great contributions" and was promoted to general. She refused to accept her official position, took off her military uniform and returned to her hometown to serve her parents. At the end of her ninetieth birthday, she was buried in the north of Mulan Mountain, and a monument with the words "Mulan General Cemetery" stood in front of her grave. In the mid-1980s, provincial and municipal cultural relics departments explored and found a large mound on the back of the new store in Mulan Mountain. This mound is 30 meters in diameter and 5.8 meters high. People call it General Cemetery. At present, a stone tablet has been rebuilt at the southern end of the mound. It is said that this stone tablet has long been lost to the people, and it was only found by the relevant units a few years ago. Although the inscription is difficult to read, the words "preface to General Mulan's tombstone" are still faintly discernible. In addition, in the southwest of the "General Cemetery", the Tang Mulan Temple, which was destroyed during the "*" period, was restored. Obviously, Mulan was born in Huangpi and died in Huangpi, so she is from Huangpi. 4. What is Mulan's surname? There are at least four kinds of opinions about Mulan's surname. He Chengtian thinks that Mulan's surname is Mu in Surname Garden. Second, Mulan in Yan 'an, Shaanxi is surnamed Hua; Third, Hubei Huangpi Mulan surnamed Zhu; Fourth, Bozhou, Anhui, Wanxian, Hebei and Yucheng, Henan are all called Mulan Wei. However, Mulan is called everywhere, not Wei Mulan. Mulan, formerly known as Zhu, is from Dachengtan Village, Shuanglong Town, Beixiang, Huangpi, Hubei (now Yao Ji Town, huangpi district, Wuhan). Mulan's father is the head of thousands of households, and his name is yi zhu, whose name is Shoufu and whose name is Tianlu. Mother's name is Zhao Guizhen. So, why is Zhu Mulan called Mulan? According to the "Wuhan Historical Story Huangpi Volume", Mulan, whose real name is Zhu, disguised as a man at the age of 18, joined the army for her father, leaped over the battlefield and used her soldiers like gods. Hu Qiang, a female general named Hua Azhen, once had a crush on her. Hua Azhen tried every means to catch Mulan, but she never got it. Later, in a confrontation with Mulan, she tied Mulan up with a "fairy rope" and insisted on marrying her. Mulan pretended to say, "It's ok to get married, but you have to come with me to find a big man." Jane Hua agreed. From then on, Mulan had another brave female general under her command. Twelve years later, Banshi returned to Korea, and Mulan returned her daughter's body. Hua Azhen was very surprised. Mulan felt sorry for Jane, so she became a sister and helped her get married. Later, Hua Azhen called Mulan "gorgeous" and Mulan also called Hua Azhen "little flower". For a long time, people called Zhu Mulan Mulan.
