Everyone has seen the Disney movie Mulan, but not many people know where it actually originates from. The story of Mulan actually originates from a ballad. There is no actual evidence that Mulan really did exist. The ballad first appeared in the North Wei Dynasty, but there is no actual written evidence of it. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the playwright Xu Wei turned Mulan into a play. The finishing touches of Mulan’s story was written into a historical novel by Chu Renhuo. There are a variety of versions to the story of Mulan, but the plot remains the same which is that Mulan joins the army to save her father.
