无奈抉择中的悲剧意蕴——《木兰诗》题旨与木兰形象再探析

On the Tragic Implications of "No Choice but to Make a Helpless One"——Re-discussion on the Motif of Ode to Mulan and the Image of Hua Mulan

《木兰诗》融合南北文化的多种元素,演绎了一个极富传奇色彩和深刻悲剧意蕴的普通民间女子代父从军的故事。故事的传奇性与悲剧意蕴,决定了木兰形象丰富的文化内涵和理想化属性,及其旨在表现倡导以"仁孝"为核心内容的中华民族传统美德的儒学文化理念。

Ode to Mulan is a blending of mixed cultural elements of both the south and the north, which depicted a legendary but somewhat tragic story of an ordinary folk female who decided to go for the conscription in place of her father. The legendary color and tragic implication of the story engender the rich cultural connotations and idealized attributes of Hua Mulan＇s image, which is aimed at representing the fine traditional virtues of the Chinese nation as was advocated by the philosophy of Confucianism with ＂benevolence and filial piety＂ as its core value.
