[Facts] Re: Mei or Li means "beautiful" in Chinese
in reply to a message by Ylva
Yes, the "lan" in Mulan is the Lan = orchid that we talk about here, but "mu" is not "brave".From the ever-helpful Wikipedia at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua_Mulan"The word "mulan" means "magnolia." ("Mu" by itself means "wood" and "Lan" means "orchid")."
