Which version of the love story between Xu Xian and White Snake do you like best?

The story of Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi is a household name, especially when I was a child, the legend of the new White Niangzi has become an indelible memory of a generation, and the cross-talk between Xu Xian and Cecilia Yip played by Angie Chiu has also become a classic that cannot be returned. Music such as "Crossing Love" and "Once in a Thousand Years" is still unforgettable. When the familiar melody rings, you can't help but think of pictures such as "West Lake", "Broken Bridge" and "Leifeng Tower". ...

Classics are classic because they are enduring in the long-term historical precipitation and long-term test, and are still loved by many readers and audiences. The story of Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi was first circulated in the form of storytelling, and was later compiled by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty into the story "Bai Niangzi Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda". Later, many versions were developed, with similar plots but many different endings. Among many versions, which ending do you like best?

1, Feng Menglong's "White Niangzi Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda"

In the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong compiled the long-standing story of Bai Xu into the 28th volume of The Story of Warning, which is called the White Lady Leifeng Pagoda in Yongzhen. The artificially bred boa constrictor turned into a beautiful woman named White Snake, and met scholar Xu Xuan (Xu Xian's real name) by the West Lake in Hangzhou. White Snake wanted to have sex with the scholar and married him. After experiencing a lot of right and wrong, Xu Xuan realized that both Bai Niangzi and Xiaoqing were goblins and were threatened by boa constrictors, so he was very scared and asked Zen Master Fahai for help. So the white snake was put into a bowl and suppressed under the Leifeng Tower. Fahai left four words: "The West Lake is dry, the rivers and lakes can't afford it, the Leifeng Tower falls, and the white snake is born." Later, Xu Xuan worshipped Fahai as a teacher, practiced for several years and sat down.

This story is more about warning the world not to be stubborn and lust after women. As the saying goes, color is empty, and emptiness is color. Among them, Buddhism is talked about by people.

2. Legends of Leifeng Pagoda and Demons in Qing Dynasty

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Fang Chengpei adapted the Legend of Leifeng Pagoda (Shuizhulou) and published 34 volumes. The first volume is "Picking Green, Meeting Boat, Subscribing to the League", the second volume is "Duanyang Begging for Grass", and the third volume is "Chen Chan". This version adds a lot of plots to Feng Menglong's version. After the white snake was suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda, the pagoda was born. Later, the legend of the righteous demon appeared, and the story of the snake spirit has completely changed from a simple monster to a sentient and righteous woman.

3. Li Bihua's Green Snake

The novel Green Snake by Li Bihua, a Hong Kong woman writer, draws lessons from the story of the legend of the White Snake. She reversed the whole story and looked at the feelings of Xu Xian and White Snake from Xiaoqing's point of view. When I first read Li Bihua's The Green Snake, I was surprised that the story could be told from the perspective of the green snake, and it was so subversive? On the one hand, it is very contradictory. It is obviously the original story. Why is it obviously different? As the saying goes: the authorities are fascinated, and the onlookers are clear. In this novel, Xu Xian is a more selfish and promiscuous person. The ending is that Fahai pressed the White Snake at the bottom of Leifeng Tower, and Xiaoqing killed Xu Xian in a rage and gave the child to others. Thousands of years later, the white snake queen came out of the tower. Xiaoqing told her this story in order not to make her sad, with a story version that has been circulated for thousands of years: Xu Xian worshiped Fahai as a teacher, then sat down and so on. White snake doesn't have much nostalgia for the past. She strolled around the West Lake and met another love story.

4. Angie Chiu Cecilia Yip performed the legend of the new white snake.

This TV series is a modification of the Qing Dynasty drama, adding some plots to make the whole story more attractive, with a traditional happy ending. The plot in front is similar to the drama in the Qing Dynasty, and the "satellites" Xu Shilin, the Leifeng Tower in Bainiangzi Town, studied hard and finally lived up to expectations and won the first prize in scientific research. He returned to Jiangxiang by imperial decree to visit relatives, and then went to worship in front of Leifeng Tower in the West Lake.

Xu Shilin's behavior touched heaven, and the White Snake Empress finally walked out of the tower fair and square, and was reunited with Xu Shilin's mother and son. Married his cousin Li. The White Snake, Xiaoqing, Fahai and Xu Xian have also settled their grievances, and their merits are satisfactory. They must ascend to heaven together.

The ending of this story should be loved by the public, so once this TV series was broadcast, it became a classic and a memory of people.

5, "The Legend of the White Snake" Tamia Liu Edition

The legend of the white snake is like a fable. Immortals, demons and people living together "half a step more" means that there is actually only a thin line between people, demons and immortals. If good and evil divide the demon world and the fairy world, love is the boundary between man and demon.

Fahai tried to break up Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi in the name of exorcism. Finally, he designed and forced the White Snake into the shape of a snake by deceiving the ten angels by his disciples, which scared Xu Xian to death. The White Snake stole Xiancao to save Xu Xian, and Fahai took the opportunity to rob Xu Xian. Mrs White Snake stole Ganoderma lucidum Cao Xian, but she didn't come back with Xu Xian. She knelt at Jinshan Temple and asked the law to let Xu Xian go, but she failed to plead, and eventually the flood flooded Jinshan. Fahai swept Xu Xian to the emotional table and let him see the snake body of the White Snake in the heart mirror. Xu Xian calmly settled Su Zhen. Fahai was trapped by the devil, and he forgot his feelings. He wanted to become a Buddha, but he became a demon.

After Mrs White Snake gave birth to the baby, Xu Xian abandoned Fahai and got back together with his wife. When the child was 100 days old, Fahai, who had become a demon, did the same trick again, turned into a white snake empress, and was tricked into taking refuge by Xu Xian. The White Snake is under the Leifeng Tower, unless the Leifeng Tower falls down and the West Lake dries up. Xu Xian went up the mountain to enter the temple and shaved his head voluntarily, just for Fahai's sentence, "No one can enter the Leifeng Tower within a hundred steps without permission."

Xu Xian asked Fahai to clean the Leifeng Tower every day, but Fahai refused. But when Fahai stood up, he was in great pain. He staggered to his feet and took three steps back. When he looked back, his hair and beard turned white, and he became old in an instant. Xu Xian sweeps the tower once a day. In order to promise to spend the rest of his life together, he and his wife live in one tower and outside the other. Whenever it rains and the sun is scorching, Mrs White Snake uses magic to open the oil umbrella to cover Xu Xian. Until Xu Xian was old, the oil umbrella broke. ...

6. Liu Yichang's novel Snake.

The novel Snake no longer uses more pen and ink to describe the legend of the story, but is based on the reflection on the present life. The story also begins with meeting in the rain, ferrying boats, opening pharmacies, giving birth to children and Dragon Boat Festival realgar wine, which seems to have little change from the previous ones. But at the end of the story, Fahai told Xu Xian that the white snake is the white snake. The white snake drank realgar wine and didn't become a snake. Because of this suspicion before, Xu Xian took the belt on the bed as a snake, which means something like "a cup bow and a snake shadow". Xu Xian went to Fahai, and people in the temple told him that Fahai died last month. Who is the Fahai that Xu Xian saw a few days ago? Maybe it's just Xu Xian's demons.

Their love was not hindered by Fahai, but was destroyed by Xu Xian's suspicion. In fact, everyone has a snake in their heart. Doubt and suspicion are always fatal to love!

Among so many versions, the legend of the new White Snake is undoubtedly the most popular. However, judging from the subversion and reversal of stories, Li Bihua's Green Snake and Liu Yichang's Snake can arouse people's reflection on life more than simply staying at a certain story level. ...
