The Legend of the White Snake

The Legend of the White Snake

There have always been many beautiful legends about Hangzhou and the West Lake. The most beautiful and moving among them is undoubtedly the "Legend of the White Snake", so for a long time, Leifeng Pagoda and Broken Bridge have always been the most poetic places for tourists. But in fact, there is also a well-known legend about the origin of West Lake.

"The Legend of White Snake" is one of the "four major folk legends" in ancient China. "The Legend of White Snake" originated in the Northern Song Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. It originated in Xujiagou Village at the foot of the Black Mountain and on the bank of the Qi River in Tangyin, Henan (now Hebi City, Henan).

Heishan Mountain, where Xujiagou is located, is also known as Jinshan Mountain, Moshan Mountain, and Dashan Mountain. It was the land of Jizhou in ancient times and is one of the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountains. Here there are mountains and mountains, Qishui water circulation, lush trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant, the environment is quiet, Yasai Taoyuan. As early as the Wei and Jin dynasties, Zuo Si recorded the love story of "Lian Mei and Du Zi" in "Wei Du Fu": "The calf leads the ox and wanders in the Black Mountains, sometimes old and sometimes young, sometimes good and sometimes ugly. Later. Combined with the girl with eyebrows, no one can chase her..." Later, this allusion evolved into the story "White Snake troubles Xu Xian", and the heroine of the story also evolved from "girl with eyebrows" to white snake.

Broken Bridge in West Lake

The white snake spirit in "White Snake Trouble with Xu Xian" was once saved from the mouth of a black eagle by an old man named Xu in Xujiagou Village. In order to repay the Xu family's life-saving grace, this white snake married Xu Xian, a shepherd boy who was a descendant of the Xu family. After her marriage, she often used herbal medicine to treat villagers' illnesses, which made the incense of the nearby "Jinshan Temple" become desolate. It also made Black Eagle's reincarnated elder "Monk Fahai" of the "Jinshan Temple" very angry, and determined to destroy Xu Xian's marriage and set aside Xu Xian's marriage. The "white lady" died. This led to the familiar plots of "stealing fairy grass" and "water flooding Jinshan Temple". The white lady gave birth to her son Xu Shilin prematurely because the water flooded the Jinshan Mountain. Fahai took the opportunity to use the "golden bowl" to cover the white lady who had just given birth, and suppressed her under the "Leifeng Pagoda" in Nanshan. After this incident, Xu Xian became disheartened, so he became a monk under the "Leifeng Pagoda" and became a servant to protect the tower. Eighteen years later, Xu Shilin became the top scorer in high school and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and worship the pagoda. Only then did he rescue his mother and reunite his family.
