What can be inferred about Chinese culture in the fifth and sixth century based on Ode of Mulan?

Hua Mulan was a Chinese warrior woman who lived during the Northern and Southern dynasties, which was between 420 and 589 CE, and her story was told through the "Ballad of Mulan." Now, it's possible that she was a real person, but it is largely believed that her story is fictional.

Explanation:

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.
