Abstract

The reason why we are worthy of notice on <The Women warrior> which was written based on the Chinese character “Mulan”(<Mulanshi(木蘭詩)>) in minority discourse is that it has cultivated important cultural domains in modern society in which subject and discourse of minority have been raised and America society which has multiethnic and multicultural aspects. Mythical heroine named Mulan suggested that minority women should challenge to acquire new life through the overcoming of pain, which assured that minorities had ability and potential power. Due to the unique literary characteristics and tendencies of Mulan, it propounded the social messages such as femininity, ethnicity, sociality, popularity entertaining, and convoyed them to the public, moreover to build the unique literary domain. That kind of qualities were combined with her feature of minority and created a synergy effect. It was incredibly inspired that Mulan as a social minority icon who was belonging to equestrian culture and nomadic tribes not a part of Confucian culture was realized a person who could not only resolve conflicts and but also as an ideological leader who drove newly positive life as well. Ultimately Mulan declared to assimilate into the America mainstream society, acknowledged herself as a main body of culture who can construct new culture area, reached full growth as a capable person who can change society and culture, and became qualified as a guard who can alert the sovereign majority.
