Jizhou is described as many lush mountains and is one of the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain in ancient times. Here, the peaks are green, the flowing water is gurgling, the trees are lush, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the environment is quiet and peaceful. As early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zuo Si recorded the love story of "eyebrows matching calves" in Du Wei Fu: "calves attract cows"

The white snake essence in Snake Works was rescued from a black hawk by an old man surnamed Xu in Xujiagou village. In return for saving his life, White Snake married the shepherd boy of the Xu family. After marriage, she often used herbs to treat villagers, which made the incense of Jinshan Temple nearby cold, and also made the elder of Jinshan Temple "Fahai monk" reincarnated by the Black Hawk. Killing "Legend of the White Snake" leads to familiar plots such as "stealing fairy grass" and "flooding Jinshan Temple". The white snake gave birth to her son Xu Shilin prematurely because of flooding Jinshan. Fahai took the opportunity to cover the white snake that was about to give birth with a "golden bowl" and suppress it under the "Leifeng Tower" in Nanshan. Through this incident, Xu Xian was disheartened and found himself in the "Leifeng Pagoda". It is reported that "Jinshan Jiayou Temple" was built in the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1056- 1063), and it was named after the place where the temple was located and the year when it was founded. The story of "The Legend of White Snake to Xu Xian" circulated among the people in this area was formed in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

This is the main reason why the story of The Legend of the White Snake was widely circulated in Hangzhou during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Time flies, and the Millennium has passed in an instant. At present, Jinshan Jiayou Temple in Montenegro is still partially preserved. The Leifeng Pagoda in Nanshantou has collapsed into ruins, and the "White Fairy Cave" cultivated by the white snake in "Qingyan Juejue" has been burned with incense. A story originated from the Three Pagodas of the West Lake, and the story has taken shape in the Ming Dynasty by Feng Menglong's "The White Lady Leifeng Pagoda in Yongzheng".
