Hua Mulan is a heroine who took the place of her father and joined the army, described in a famous Chinese poem known as the Ballad of Mulan.

　　唧唧唧唧，木兰对着门在织布。花木兰的爸爸听不到织布的声音，只听见女儿的叹息声。
　　花木兰的爸爸问：姑娘你这样叹息是在思念什么，在回想什么呢？木兰回答道：“木兰没有思念什么，也没有回想什么。

　　昨夜我看见军中的文告，知道皇上在大规模地征兵，征兵的名册很多卷，上面都有父亲的名字。父亲没有大儿子，木兰没有兄长，愿意为此去买鞍马，从此替代父亲去应征。”

　　东市买骏马，西市买马鞍下的垫子，南市买驾牲口用的嚼子和缰绳，北市买驾牲口的鞭子。早上辞别父母上路，晚上宿营在黄河边，听不见父母呼唤女儿的声音，只能听到黄河的流水声。早上辞别黄河上路，晚上到达黑山头，听不见父母呼唤女儿的声音，只能听到燕山胡人的战马啾啾的鸣叫声。

　　不怕万里征程的遥远，奔赴战场，像飞一样地跨过一道道的关，越过一座座的山。北方的寒气传送着打更的声音，清冷的月光映照着战士们的铁甲战袍。征战多年，经历很多战斗，许多将士战死沙场，木兰等幸存者胜利归来。

　　胜利归来朝见天子，天子坐在殿堂上（论功行赏）。木兰被记了很大的功劳，赏赐了很多财物。天子问木兰想要什么，木兰不愿做官，只希望骑上一匹千里马，送木兰回故乡。

　　父母听说女儿回来了，互相搀扶着到外城来迎接木兰；姐姐听说妹妹回来了，对着门户梳妆打扮起来；弟弟听说姐姐回来了，忙着霍霍地磨刀准备杀猪宰羊。（木兰回到家里）打开东边的阁楼门，坐坐西边内房的坐榻，脱去我打仗时穿的战袍，穿上我以前女孩子的衣裳，对着窗子整理像云一样柔美的鬓发，对着镜子在额上贴好花黄。出门去见同去出征的伙伴，伙伴们都很吃惊地说：我们同行多年，竟然不知道木兰是女孩子。

　　把兔子耳朵拎起时，雄兔的两只前脚时时动弹，雌兔的两眼时常眯着。雄雌两兔一起并排着跑，怎能分辨得出哪个是雄兔，哪个是雌兔呢？

　　点评：

　　花木兰生活在北魏前期，北魏是鲜卑族拓跋部建立的，西晋未年曾被封为代王，后为苻坚所灭。苻坚在淝水之战中失败，拓跋氏复国，改国号为“魏”，经过五、六十年的征战，结束“五胡乱华”的十国时代，统一黄河流域。

　　木兰是一个好女儿，替父从军的意志，实为对父亲的爱心与对祖国的忠心的凝聚，是巾帼英雄本色的表现。
