The tale goes  that a white snake came to the human world as she was longing for human  life (another version holds that she wanted to repay an obligation), and  married a scholar named Xu Xian. However, such marriage was opposed by  Fahai, a Buddhist&nbsp;monk in Jinshan Temple, who maintained that  coexistence of human and evil spirit was unallowable. He then suppressed  the white snake (Madam White Snake) under Leifeng Pagoda at the bank of  the West Lake. Many years later, after gained a Zhuangyuan title&nbsp;(the  first place&nbsp;in&nbsp;the imperial&nbsp;examination), Madam White Snake&#8217;s son  offered sacrifice to his mother in front of the Leifeng Pagoda. God was  moved by his action and made the pagoda collapse, which enabled the  family to reunite. Provided the first half of the tale is a love story,  the second half can be perceived as a narration regarding struggle and  striving.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><span><span>  <\/p>\n<div>The legend happened in the West Lake of Hangzhou.  It is said that Madam White Snake met Xu Xian on the now &quot;Broken Bridge&quot;  at the White Dike of the West Lake. Up to now, visitors may still  recall the story as they view and admire this scenic spot. More  importantly, the huge quantity of ancient traditional customs preserved  in this legend has made it become one of the oral heritages containing  the most abundant folk customs in China.<\/div>\n<div><em>Legend of the White Snake<\/em> derives from the Tang and Five  Dynasties and is handed down through the Ming and Qing Dynasties until  now. Through the adaptation and performance of oral folk literature and  various conventional literature, this tale became a classical theme of a  variety of literal forms including story, ballad, precious scroll,  fiction, historical novel, script&nbsp;for&nbsp;story-telling, drama, Tanci, as  well as movie, TV play, cartoon, and comic strips. It has therefore  experienced an ever expanding influence and becomes widely known in  China, and furthermore, spreads in many countries such as Japan, North  Korea, Vietnam, and India.<\/div>\n<p>  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-1635698650\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legend of the White Snake is one of the most famous tales spreading out among folks in ancient China.
