A Brief Introduction to the Story of Snow Mountain in Shaanxi Opera

During the Xi period of Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian used his mother's birthday to date civil and military officials. Cheongwan Cao Mo refused, Wei Lengben also took part in the performance, so Cao Mo cut it off. Fortunately, Chen Zhong saved Cao, who was demoted to Li and stayed in Guanzhuang for one night. Wei sent someone to kill his family and commit suicide, and his wife threw herself into the well. Cao's family escaped from Cao Nvyu Company and went to visit relatives in Datong.

Passing through Huashan Mountain, which is 40 miles wide, it snowed heavily, and Cao Fu froze to death. Yu Lian was sent to Li Dezheng's official office by leopard soldiers. Wei Zhongxian forged another imperial edict and sent someone to take Li Dezheng to Beijing for interrogation. Zhang Shouxin, the lieutenant, spied on the false purport, so about 14 soldiers of Wang went to Beijing to beg thieves, Wei Zhongxian was killed, the unjust case was exposed, and Yu Lian was named the top scholar.
