Gender stereotypes----Maiden in Armour

                       The Comprehension of Maiden in Armor
           

           Mulan is a famous character from Chinese folktale.We all know about her in my home country. In my Junior high school,I learnt a poem about her, to praise her for her courage. She disguises as a male soldier to take her father's place to join the army. According the description of the Ballad of Mulan, she fought with other guys and hided her gender. Because at that time in China, there had strong gender stereotypes that women can not fight in the battle,and all men must be sent into exile. In Southern and Northern Dynasties，people thought that the only things women can do is weaving. But they didn't know that there also existed heroine like Mulan, break through the feudal system ,gender stereotypes and all restraint.
