#Mulan is a Xianbei girl from Northern China & a Northern Chinese folklore. Why would she lived in a tulou like a Hakka (Khek/客家) people in Fujian? 😂
Hakka lived in this walled village because they‘ve been persecuted & have so much conflicts as an immigrant to Southern China.
When Disney decided to make #Mulan as another musical live-action in order to make it look serious, at least make it historically accurate or AT LEAST make it non-fiction.
Don’t add up ridiculous fictional elements like OP witches & inaccurate usage of ‘qi’.
They made #Mulan born with some sort of power like a ‘chosen one’ as if she’s a Jedi or Harry Potter 😂 it would be great if they’d just potray Mulan as a hard-working person who works her own way to become a warrior. Not someone who just born with it.
The physical depiction of Fenghuang/Chinese phoenix is quite accurate though Mulan’s dad said something like “rises from ash” when Chinese phoenix clearly doesn’t 🤧
Fenghuang = phoenix is just a matter of translation. In reality, Fenghuang & European phoenix is a different tale
Yall need to watch and read more about the ✨cultivation✨ not just simply slapping every Chinese concepts you know without proper context @Disney, ga pengen ribet ap gimana sih langsung jadiin karakternya ‘born with the force’ 🤧
And if I may repeat it, yep, #Mulan was actually not a Han person, she is from a confederation of a nomadic tribes called Xianbei.
Some scholars believe they were a Proto-Turks, others argued they were Tungusic ethnic origin.
