With the graceful twists and turns of the White Snake, we see the cartoonist's clear thought process, shining with humor and wisdom. After finding the background of Xiao Qing, it was just the beginning for Cai Zhizhong. He collected many collections and monographs on the White Snake story from around the world, including the "Horse Head Tune," "Octagonal Drum," and "Disciples' Book" folk drum songs and narrative works of the local art "Drum Opera" in Henan Province. There are also folk songs popular in East China, short and medium-length "Nantong Opera," and the religious literary form originally with a missionary connotation, "Baoguan," which was popular among the people. It also includes the precursors of local dramas in East China: Suzhou Opera, Shanghai Opera, Ningbo Opera, Changxi Opera, and so on. It also includes rare Qing Dynasty dramas such as The Legend of Leifeng Pagoda, and more. The book features both folk legends and [Cai Zi Version] exclusive humorous and witty interpretations of current affairs. Ladies and gentlemen, the White Snake has emerged, and Shaolin has returned to the martial arts world. Are you ready to encounter the White Snake or go to Shaolin to watch a martial arts grand event?
