According to historians' research, the story of the legend of the white snake originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its birthplace was at the foot of Heishan Mountain in Hebi, Henan Province and Xujiagou on the Qi River. Montenegro is also known as Jinshan. As early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zuo Si recorded the love story of "an eyebrow with a calf" in Du Wei Fu: "The calf stands up and swims in the black mountains. Later, I joined my eyebrows and left, and people couldn't catch up. " Later, this story evolved into a story of "White Snake Makes Xu Xian", and the hero of the story also evolved from a "cheap beauty" to a white snake. According to legend, Xu's white snake was rescued from the raptor by an old man named Xu in Xujiagou. In return for saving his life, White Snake married the descendants of the Xu family. After marriage, she often treated the villagers with herbs, which made the incense of the nearby "Jinshan Temple" gradually cold. Monk Fahai, the elder of Jinshan Temple reincarnated by Black Hawk, was very angry and determined to destroy Xu Xian's marriage and kill the white snake, which led to familiar plots such as "stealing fairy grass" and "flooding Jinshan Temple".

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. There are many Buddhist teachings and feudal ethics in the story.
