Love story in Ningbo
Butterfly lovers in Ningbo is a beautiful love story, which has been circulated for many years on the banks of Cao 'e River in Shangyu and at the foot of Shuai Longshan.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a beautiful and clever daughter, Yingtai, who wanted to be a clerk. She studied poetry with her brother at an early age, admired the talents of Ban Zhao and Cai Wenji, hated her family for not having a mentor, and wanted to travel to Hangzhou to study. Zhu Yingtai, eager to learn, disguised himself as a fortune teller and said, "It's best to let your daughter go out according to divination." I hope my father sees his daughter Joe disguised as a man, and there is no flaw. In order to disappoint her, he had to reluctantly agree. England and Taiwan Province disguised themselves as men and went to Hangzhou to study. On the way, I met Liang Shanbo, a scholar who came to Hangzhou from Huiji (now Shaoxing) to study. As soon as I saw him, I liked reading each other very much. On the Caoqiao Pavilion, I made a righteous knot in Jin Lan with a pinch of soil as incense. A day later, the two men came to Song Wan College in Hangzhou, where they were accepted as apprentices. From then on, students read * * *, and they were inseparable. Liang Zhu studied in the deep sea for three years. Yingtai loved Sambo deeply, but Sambo never knew he was a woman. She only cares about brotherhood and has no special feelings. I wish my father misses his daughter. I am in a hurry to return home, so Yingtai has to hurry home. Liang Zhu broke up and was reluctant to go. On the way to the 18-mile farewell, Yingtai kept borrowing things to caress and hint at love. Shan Bo is honest and simple, and he doesn't know why. Yingtai had no choice but to lie that her nine sisters looked exactly like herself and were willing to be a matchmaker for Shanbo. However, because Shanbo was poor, she couldn't come as scheduled. When Shanbo went to Jia Zhu to propose marriage, I was afraid that Zhu Fu had betrothed Yingtai to Ma Wencai, the son of Miancheng (now Yinxian). A happy marriage went up in smoke. The two met on the balcony, looked at each other with tears in their eyes and left sadly. When we leave, we make an oath: we must live together and die together! Later, Liang Shanbo was named Yin County (now Yinzhou District, Ningbo City) by the imperial court. However, Sambo became depressed and died soon. He was ordered to be buried in the Kowloon Market in Yancheng. Yingtai heard the bad news of Shanbo and vowed to die. When Yingtai was forced to get married, she made a detour to worship Liang Shanbo's tomb. Under the induction of Zhu Yingtai's wailing, the grave burst, Yingtai jumped into the grave, the grave reunited, the wind stopped raining, the rainbow hung high, and Liang Zhu turned into a butterfly, flying in the world.
