Character introduction:

1, White Snake

White Snake, born in Qingcheng Mountain, Chengdu, Sichuan, is a white snake essence who has been practicing for thousands of years. [1] Legend is a disciple of Shan Li's mother and the hero of Legend of the White Snake, one of the four ancient folk love legends. Bai Niangzi practiced Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain, and her magic was high.

Her beauty is peerless, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white. She is beautiful, elegant and noble in the world. He was kind-hearted, used medicine to help the world and benefit the people of Li, and his merits were boundless.

White Snake and Xu Xian met in the West Lake, fell in love at first sight and got married. Fahai, a monk in Jinshan Temple, bewitched Xu Xian and alienated the feelings of husband and wife. Xu Xian listened to rumors and left home for Jinshan. From Bai Niangzi to Jinshan Suofu, there was a struggle with Fahai, which caused the water to overflow Jinshan.

Fahai dispersed them by force and put Mrs. White Snake under the Leifeng Tower. Twenty years later, Xu Shilin, the son of White Snake, won the top prize in Xiaogan, and White Snake finally got out of the tower and returned to Xiansaka.

2. Xu Xian

Legend has it that Xu Xian, an apprentice of a pharmacy in Hangzhou, is kind and honest. He met a white snake (named White Snake, known as "White Snake") and a green snake (known as Xiaoqing, Qing Er) who practiced human form for thousands of years, and they were in the same boat.

As a result, Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi met, fell in love and got married soon. After marriage, Bai Xu and his wife opened a drugstore-Baohetang, and their lives were very happy. In order to help Xu Xian, Bai Niangzi ordered Xiaoqing to store silver.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Xian was scared to death, because the White Snake showed her true colors after drinking realgar wine. Then she came back to life with the ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass stolen by the white snake from Kunlun Mountain.

Later, the Fahai monk of Jinshan Temple was bent on subduing the white snake. First, Xu Xian was kidnapped by trickery and banned in Jinshan Temple, and white snake and green snake were lured to Soff. The white lady Soff failed and flooded Jinshan in a rage.

The flood from Qiantang River caused flooding in Qiantang County, causing numerous deaths and injuries. As a result, he committed a heinous crime, and Fahai took the opportunity to find a reason. After many twists and turns, he finally put the white snake in a bowl and put it under the Leifeng Tower by the West Lake.

Folklore of later generations, as well as Xu Shilin, the son of Xu Xian (from The Legend of the New White Snake), came from Sichuan Opera earlier. There is a play related to Yue Opera called Xu Meng Jiao. ) When I grew up, I won the first prize and went back to my hometown to pay homage to my mother.

3. Fahai

Fahai Zen Master is the son of Pei Xiu, a famous figure in Tang Dynasty, whose common name is Pei Wende. His father, Prime Minister Pei Xiu, was born in Pei Village, Jiyuan, Tang Dynasty. Born in a famous family, he served Buddha for generations. Pei Xiu, the prime minister, made an in-depth study of the doctrines of various sects at that time.

During the reign of Tang Changqing (82 1-824), he was admitted as a scholar, and served as an envoy of our time, a minister of rites, and a prince Shao Shi. In the sixth year of Dazhong (852), Pei Xiu was promoted to Pingzhang (Prime Minister) in Zhongshumen and lived here for five years.

Honest, well managed, knowledgeable and well documented. The New Tang Book and Old Tang Book behind him are biographies for him. According to Jinshan Temple, Pei Wende accepted his father's orders as a teenager.

His father, then an observer in Tanzhou (Changsha area), personally sent him to Weishan, Hunan Province to practice and worship Master Ling You, the founder of Zen Buddhism. According to ancient Zen forest records, Pei Wende was given the dharma name "Fahai" when he shaved.

Known as fahai Zen master. After shaving, his master, Zen Master Ling You, ordered him to be an ascetic monk every day, chopping firewood for nearly three years, and delivering domestic water to more than 500 monks who had lived there for nearly three years. Sometimes it's really hard. I'll think about it a little.

Once, he sweated with a bucket and said to himself, "Even if a monk drinks water, it is hard to disappear." Under this sentence, after every meal, people feel uncomfortable and their diet cannot be digested. When Master Ling You heard about it.

When Master Fahai visited the little ginseng around him every day, he said to him meaningfully, "If you sit a little longer, you will lose a thousand pounds of food." Since then, the gap between the masses has been completely lifted. Zen master Fahai was deeply ashamed that he took care of his body and mind and worked hard to serve the public monks.
