Ancient Asian Legends

In honor of International Women’s Day, we're thrilled to spotlight one of the most inspiring Ancient Asian Heroines: Mulan. While many know her tale from the beloved Disney movie, the earliest written record of Mulan's story traces back to "The Ballad of Mulan," written in the Northern Wei Dynasty, 386 to 534 AD, by an anonymous poet. Today, we'd love to share the original text of this timeless ballad with you, translated by Han H. Frankel in 1976.
