Mulan is a girl who disguised herself as a man and fought in her fathers place. Her story fully shows a typical Chinese image, a filial daugh

6、ter. For thousands of years, Mulans story has spread over China, and has profoundly affected every Chinese. This story has been displayed by many kinds of performance. In particular, it was adapted as movies and TV plays many times. This story has become famous over the world. In 1998, Disney Compan

7、y created a cartoon film Mulan, which was added with new modern elements with the background of The Ballad of Mulan. The Americans did not change the original history, but looked at this eastern legend with the values of Americans. With the new creative idea, a brand-new Mulan has been created. In t

8、he ballad, Mulan is a filial daughter which is traditional womans image in Chinese Confucianism. But in the Disney cartoon film Mulan, Mulan is a girl who desired to realize herself and bravely fought for her love. This cartoon film is full of Hollywood movie features, such as individualism and hero

9、ism. The movie won a great economic success and propagated American culture and the values of Americans. Sun Lijun (2005:88) said, “This cartoon movie makes Chinese confused. On one hand, Chinese was glad that their traditional legend has taken on a new look with the adaptation of Disney Company. On

10、 the other hand, Chinese was perplexed by Mulan who is so different from the ballad.” In one word, the Disney cartoon film Mulan is a combination of Chinese story with the values of Americans (王传东, 2007:24). Therefore, while we are learning the innovational spirit of Americans, we need to think deep

11、ly about the two different images of Mulan.2. Two Different Mulans2.1 Mulans image in The Ballad of MulanThe ballad shows traditional Chinese thinking that is filial piety. It is thought the ballad was collected into an anthology of YueFu in the mid-sixth century, and later popularized during the Ta

12、ng dynasty (贾黎丽, 2009:17). There are five parts in the ballad.In the first part, there is a weaving scene of Mulan. “Tsiek tsiek and again tsiek tsiek, Mu-lan weaves, facing the door.”(傅汉思, 2010:132). Then, we find that Mulan has secrets in her mind. “You dont hear shuttles sound, you only hear Daug

13、hters sighs.”(傅汉思,2010:132). She told her mother that her father will report to the camp. But he is too old to fight against the enemies and has no grown-up son. So she has to fight in his place. “Last night I saw the draft posters And serve in the army in Fathers place.”(傅汉思,2010:132-133).In the se

14、cond part, there are four sentences with parallelism. They describe that Mulan was preparing for fighting. “In the East Market she buys a spirited horse. In the North Market she buys a long whip.”(傅汉思,2010:133). Because of the situation was urgent, Mulan said good bye to her parents and started off

15、in the morning. On the way to the army, Mulan missed her home and her parents. “At dawn she takes leave of Father and Mother, In the evening camps on the Yellow Rivers bank. She doesnt hear the sound of Father and Mother calling, she only hears the Yellow Rivers flowing water cry tsien tsien She onl

16、y hears Mount Yens nomad horses cry tsiu tsiu.”(傅汉思,2010:133). In the third part, there are brief sentences to describe life of Mulan in the 10-year hardship of war. “She goes ten thousand miles on the business of war; she crosses passes and mountains like flying. Northern gusts carry the rattle of army pots, chilly light shines on iron armor. Generals die in
