花木蘭在东西方影视中的形象演變

This paper analyzes how the image of Hua Mulan has been continuously reinterpreted and reshaped in Eastern and Western media through a comparative analysis of related film and television works across different eras and cultural backgrounds. The evolution of Hua Mulan’s image reveals that, although all works are based on the same legend, her portrayal has shifted from a traditional hero to a more complex modern character, reflecting changes in gender roles and heroism. These changes highlight the complexities of cultural exchange and integration in a globalized context and provide insights into modern understandings of gender roles and heroism, which are particularly evident in the evolution of Mulan’s image.
