Mulan putting her hair down doesn’t work in ancient China because men also had long hair. The most she’ll get is “Oh, you had your hair down. What happened, you lost your hairpin or something?” from her peers.

Ugh, finally. Finished watching the movie.
Don’t watch it.
It’s bad.
It’s trash.
It’s terrible.
It doesn’t understand Chinese culture.
It has some serious flaws in plot.
Don’t.
DISNEY. CHINESE PHOENIX IS DIFFERENT FROM THE POPULAR WESTERN PHOENIX. IT’S NOT ENVELOPED IN FIRE. IT DOES NOT RESURRECT. THIS IS FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY, NOT CHINESE.
ALSO, EVERYONE HAS CHI. EVERYONE.
EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
NOT ONLY WARRIORS, BUT YOU, ME, A LITTLE GIRL, A FUCKING BUG HAS CHI.
SHUT THE FUCK UUUUPPPPP.
WHAT THE FUCK AGAIN DISNEY. I’M LOOKING MORE CLOSELY THE IMPERIAL ROBES AND IT RESEMBLES JAPANESE KIMONO.
THIS IS FUCKING CHINA DISNEY. CHINESE CULTURE.
THIS IS AN IMPERIAL ROBE

Is Disney being very faithful to that period? Eh....But then again, the 1998 animated version also strayed veeeery far from the original source.
FIRST FIVE SECONDS. FIRST FIVE SECONDS AND IT WAS ALREADY WRONG. No one in China said that it’s wrong for a woman to train her chi. FUCKING NO ONE. In fact, in the original ballad Mulan’s father taught her everything! Moreover, they encourage EVERYONE to practice how to wield it, and there are OLD people practicing Qiqong! OLD LADIES PRACTICING QIQONG. WHAT THE FUCK DISNEY.
Also, Mulan is mostly popular known to have happened during the Tang dynasty, that is pretty famous for giving more women rights than other dynasties so Disney didn’t even checked their facts right. FUCK YOU.
Here, quote:
The Tang dynasty was a time of relative freedom for women. Women of the Tang Dynasty were fortunate to live at a time characterized by open-mindedness and liberal ideas. Tang women also had the chance to learn history, politics, and military skills.
Well, FINALLY the emperor is wearing golden robes.
STOP. USING. WESTERN STYLE. PHOENIX. IN. A. CHINESE. MOVIE.
