Mulan

It is an ordinary small village on the central plain of China. At the entrance of the village sits a courtyard with a hall at the center. The inscription above the door reads, "Temple of the filial and heroic general." In the hall a statue of a pretty and graceful young woman stands in the middle while on the altar in front of the statue are burning incense sticks and various offerings by pilgrims. Out side of the hall there are two stone tablets erected during the Yuan and Qing dynasties respectively. The inscriptions on the tablets record Mulan's life story, her heroic merits and details about renovations of the temple, which provide important evidence for contemporary research. Area Code: 451
