Story Origin

The story of the Legend of White Snake originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, storytellers in Zhenjiang (鎮江) and Hangzhou (杭州) were telling this story.  The script called "Three Pagodas of West Lake" has been handed down.  It was not until "Warning to the World" written by Feng Menglong (馮孟龍) in the Ming Dynasty that this story was roughly formed in the twenty-eight volumes of "White Snake Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda"(白蛇永鎮雷峰塔).
