an anonymous work of Chinese folklore, is dated from the Northern Wei dynasty (386-534 AD), a period marked by significant Silk Road cultural exchanges and the spread of Buddhism, influenced Chinese art, music, and literature, including Mulan's tale. It was first transcribed in the 6th-century "Musical Records of Old and New" by Guo Maoqian during the Song dynasty.
The ballad embodies key Confucian principles such as Xiao (family devotion) and loyalty (zhong). Confucius (551-479 BC) was a Chinese philosopher whose teachings on ethics and proper conduct, recorded in the "Analects," have profoundly shaped Chinese culture and emphasized social harmony through respect and integrity. These values emphasize respect for family and duty to the state, which are central themes in Mulan’s decision to enlist in the army to protect her aging father.
UNIVERSAL TRUTHS: Filial piety, a key Confucian value, highlights the deep respect and loyalty children owe to their parents and ancestors. Today, filial piety remains crucial in modern Chinese culture, often shown by caring for elderly parents and upholding family obligations. Within your own family, do you see filial piety as a core value? Are you prepared to make personal sacrifices to benefit your family members?
Overcoming Gender barriers: The ballad illustrates that personal empowerment and heroism are not confined by gender. Similar themes appear in historical figures like Joan of Arc, who led French troops, and Deborah Sampson, who fought in the American Revolutionary War disguised as a man. The ballad of Mulan ultimately recognizes Mulan’s merit and contributions based on her abilities rather than her gender, advocating for the value of personal achievement and character over rigid gender stereotypes.

Portrait of Li Xiangjun (1624–1654), a famous Gējì from the Ming period, 1817. Gējì were female Chinese performing artists and courtesans who trained in singing and dancing. Li Xiangjun's life was dramatised in the play The Peach Blossom Fan. Her romance with Hou Fangyu has been called one of the greatest romances of Chinese history. She is one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai (Chinese: 秦淮八艳) described by late Qing officials.
🌿 Xieyi Painting · The Rootless Tree —Verse 50: Rootless Bloom
Within a softly glowing sky,a single tree stands in silence.Rootless, its branches twist and bend,and yet one white flower quietly bloomsbetween heaven and earth.
This Xieyi painting is inspired by''The Rootless Tree: 100 Verses — Verse 50.''
It expresses the strength of standing without fixed ground,the vitality that emerges beyond form,and the sign of life that appears without resistance or attachment.
The tree does not oppose the wind,nor does it cling to the soil.And yet, when the time is right,the flower appears—naturally, inevitably.
To be rootless is not a lack,but perhaps a freedom that allows one to connect with all things.

I'm boo, she/her, 20 years old. Currently feeling very lost at life (and my failures), but at least I know angst and comedy makes me happy. I mostly write and draw about tropes I like. I'm very new to writing/drawing so please bear with me :D
Furthermore, maybe it's a bit arrogant of me but I want this blog to also be a safe space, especially for people who have crippling social anxiety or anxiety/depression in general. And to those who might be suffering (including myself):
Remember you are not in a race. You're just trying to live as best as you can. Don't compare yourself or your performance to other people - you have your own unique circumstances and challenges to overcome, and that's totally okay.
Someday in the future, we will feel happy and safe - it's only a matter of time. Just hold out for a little while longer. We can do this!
My favorite show (in general):
Gintama is my sole reason for living hahahahaha...(cries in corner)
