Introduction to "The Legend of White Snake": The legend has a long history and is well-known to every household. It is one of the four major folk love legends in China (the other three are "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Meng Jiangnu" and "Cowherd and Weaver Girl"). The Legend of White Snake matured and became popular in the Qing Dynasty and is a model of Chinese folk collective creation. It describes the tortuous love story between a snake spirit who cultivates into a human form and a human being. The story includes the story of borrowing an umbrella from a tent boat, the white lady stealing Ganoderma lucidum, flooding the Jinshan Mountain, the broken bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, Xu Xian's son Shilin offering sacrifices to the pagoda, and Fa Hai escaping into the belly of a crab to escape death. It expresses the people's praise and yearning for free love between men and women and their hatred for the unreasonable restraint of feudal forces. It is included in the "first batch of national intangible cultural heritage". And many film and television dramas and cartoons were filmed based on this story.
