When is the story of the legend of the White Snake?

Legend of the White Snake is a story of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The legend of White Snake has a long history and is a household name. It is one of the four Han folk love legends in China (the other three are Liang Zhu, Meng Jiangnu and Cowherd and Weaver Girl). The legend of White Snake was mature and popular in Qing Dynasty, and it was a model of China folk collective creation. This paper describes a tortuous love story between a snake spirit who cultivates human form and human beings. Stories include the story of Wupeng boat borrowing an umbrella, the story of White Snake stealing Ganoderma lucidum, the story of flooding Jinshan, the story of broken bridge, the story of Leifeng Tower, the story of Xu Xian Shilin sacrificing the son of the tower, and the story of Fahai escaping from the crab's stomach. It expresses the people's admiration for the free love between men and women and their hatred for the unreasonable bondage of feudal forces.

According to the "Warning Words" 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 Niangzi, and her maid Qingqing met Xu Xuan (or ornaments), the king of pharmacy, in the West Lake of Hangzhou. They fell in love at first sight, and White Snake was eager to have sex with the scholar, so she 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.
