Why did White Snake meet Xu Xian at the West Lake Broken Bridge?

According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu in the late Ming Dynasty, it is said that during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, a snake demon trained for thousands of years turned into a beautiful woman named White Snake, and its maid Qingqing (also known as Xiaoqing, herring and green snake) met Xu Xuan (or), the king of medicine, at the West Lake in Hangzhou, and they fell in love at first sight. The white snake wanted to have sex with the scholar and married him. So they became husband and wife.

After marriage, I have experienced a lot of right and wrong. White snakes are often weird and may not be comparable. The monk of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang gave Xu a bowl to cover his wife. The white and blue quilt cover reveals its true colors, and it is a white snake herring that has been taught for thousands of years. Then Fahai took a bowl and put it in front of Leisi Peak, where a seven-level pagoda named Leifeng was built. The tower was always white and green.

Monks bought shrines, burned them and built bone towers, which are immortal for thousands of years. When they died, they wrote eight poems as a warning. The poem says: "My ancestors gave me the world of mortals, and the Cycas bloomed before spring." The cycle of transformation is very heavy, and life is reborn. If you want to know that color is colorless, you must know that it is invisible, but it is tangible. Empty color is color, and empty color should be clear.

Later generations added some plots according to this legend, making the story more popular and in line with the public's taste, which has been passed down to this day. The content is as follows: Zhenjiang City in Song Dynasty. The White Snake is a snake demon who has practiced for thousands of years. In order to repay the scholar Xu Xian for saving his life in his last life, he turned into a human figure to repay his kindness. Later, I met the green snake essence Xiaoqing and they got together.

Mrs White Snake used his magic to get to know Xu Xian and marry him. After the marriage, the monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple told Xu Xian that White Snake was a snake demon, and Xu Xian was skeptical. Later, according to Fahai's method, Xu Xian asked the White Snake to drink realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. Mrs White Snake had to show his true colors, but he scared Xu Xian half to death. The White Snake went to Heaven to steal the fairy grass Ganoderma lucidum to save Xu Xian.

Fahai tricked Xu Xian into Jinshan Temple and put him under house arrest. The White Snake fought with Fahai, flooded Jinshan Temple, but hurt other creatures. After giving birth, the White Snake who broke the dogma was put into a bowl by Fahai and suppressed under the Leifeng Tower. Mrs. White Snake's son became the best scholar when he grew up. He went to the tower to worship his mother, saved her and reunited the whole family. And the lovely Xiaoqing also found Xianggong.
