Everyone in Taiwan is familiar with the legend of Hua Mulan. Experts know that this young Chinese woman disguised herself as a man in order to take her father's place in the emperor's1 army. Mulan fought bravely and was given a horse for her services. However, the experts don't agree on every detail of her life. Some believe her last name was Zhu, while others think it was Wei. They also disagree on where and when she lived.

These questions about Mulan's past seem pretty easy to solve when they are compared to other legends from around the world. Take Lawrence of Arabia for example. Thomas Edward Lawrence was a real British officer. He wrote a book about his own role in leading the Great Arab Revolt2 during World War I. The film "Lawrence of Arabia" was based on the book and made Lawrence's story even more popular. Even so, historians3 still question the truth of his story. One side regards him as a great military mind4, while the other thinks he is a great liar. This month, National Geographic Channel's "Mystery5 Files 2" tries to put an end to this debate.

 

 所有的台湾人都对花木兰的传说耳熟能详。专家们知道这位年轻的中国女子为了代父从军而将自己乔装成男人。木兰在战场上英勇无畏,并因战功彪炳而获赏一匹骏马。不过专家们对於她生平的细节却看法不一。有些专家认为她本姓『朱』,有的则认为她姓『魏』。他们对於她的居住地及生长的朝代也有所争论。

然而跟世界上的其他传说相比,关於木兰生平的这些问题似乎还算容易解决。就拿阿拉伯的劳伦斯为例子来说好了。汤玛斯·爱德华·劳伦斯是一个确实存在的英国军官。他写了一本书,描述自己在一次大战期间领导阿拉伯起义所扮演的角色。《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》这部电影就是根据这本书拍摄而成的,并且让劳伦斯的故事更加出名。即使如此,历史学家仍质疑他故事的真实性。有一方认为他是个英勇的军事人才,另一方则说他是个大骗子。本月份,国家地理频道的《历史神秘档案2》试图要终结这场争论。
