This morning, I cast a glance over my personnal album, several pictures was taken in Pattaya, Thailand, they are male or female? Maybe the place of Pattaya already reminds you of something, an internationally well-known seaside resort, also the Thai Ladyman. I watched a show of Ladyman and took these pictures, they were performing famous worldwide dancing and traditional story, in which as the attached pictures shown, they were performing a very famous traditional Chinese story - "The White Snake", a love story about snake and human being, handed down from the Ming Dynasty.
I felt strange a beautiful and old traditional Chinese story was concerned by the Ladymen in Thailand. In China, this story had already been widely known because there have been several editions of "The White Snake" shown to almost all the Chinese people but no that of Ladymen.
This story is closely related to the Dragon Boat Festival. It was said that on E-Mei mountain, Sichuan Province, there lived two snake spirits, White Snake and Green Snake. These snakes, being magical, one day on Dragon Boat Festival turned themselves into beautiful girls respectively named Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing and set off on a journey to the West Lake of Hang Zhou.
When they arrived at West Lake they met a man named Xu Xian. Bai Suzhen quickly married with Xu Xian for reward the love-kindness of saving her life 500 years ago. After marriage, they gave birth to a son and enjoyed the life together.
However, A Buddhist monk, named Fa Hai, from the temple Jin Shan, Jiangsu Province, regarded their union as a violation of conventional marriages and a degeneration of moral standards. Much enraged, he sent divine troops from heaven to capture Bai Suzhen, incarcerating her underneath a pagoda by using his magical powers. For many years afterwards, Green Snake hid herself in the remote mountains to vigorously practice magic power and martial arts and in the end succeeded in toppling the pagoda and rescuing her mistress. Thus Bai Suzhen was able to reunite with her husband and son.
The snake in the story assumes a noble human nature. Is this the "Ghost" of China?
