This explains where the "girl disguises herself as a boy to get into a boy's school and falls in love with a boy there" trope that we see in dramas comes from!

When I was a child visiting my dad in China, we had a nice neighbor who also had a young girl about my younger brother's age. She invited us over once to have a play date and they showed us this animated movie. The story was so moving and so beautiful that we finished it even without understanding a word of Chinese and no subtitles, and the storyline stuck with me. That story was of The Butterfly Lovers. Truly timeless.

I'm not really much into forbidden love story...or any love story actually. I really have something against great female characters turn into weak easily cry and easily bow down over love.

There r also many bad stories like 朱定伯捉鬼 about a boy tricking a ghost and selling it(even tho the ghost did nothing to the boi) 南阳宋定伯年少时,夜行逢鬼。问之,鬼言:“我是鬼。”鬼问:“汝复谁?”定伯诳之,言:“我亦鬼。”鬼问:“欲至何所?”答曰:“欲至宛市。”鬼言:“我亦欲至宛市。”遂行。   数里,鬼言:“步行太亟,可共递相担,何如?”定伯曰:“大善。”鬼便先担定伯数里。鬼言:“卿太重,将非鬼也?”定伯言:“我新鬼,故身重耳。”定伯因复担鬼,鬼略无重。如是再三。定伯复言:“我新鬼,不知有何所畏忌?”鬼答言:“惟不喜人唾。”于是共行。道遇水,定伯令鬼先渡,听之,了然无声音。定伯自渡,漕漼作声。鬼复言:“何以作声?”定伯曰:“新死,不习渡水故耳,勿怪吾也。”   行欲至宛市,定伯便担鬼著肩内上,急持之。鬼大呼,声咋咋然,索下,不复听之。径至宛市中下著地,化为一羊,便容卖之恐其变化,唾之。得钱千五百,乃去。于时石崇言:“定伯卖鬼,得钱千五百文。” (here it is)

That's why I don't like Xu Xian. If Bai Su Zhen had wanted to harm him, why hadn't she done it earlier on? Why wait till she had a child with him?? After all that time they've spent together, that meant nothing to Xu Xian in the end when compared to the fact that she's a snake monster. That doesn't sound like true love to me. If you hadn't already, I would suggest watching The Sorcerer and the White Snake 2011. It's a movie, and the Xu Xian in that movie isn't as much of a wimp.

These are really cool stories.....very romantic. But something puzzles me - all of these stories show the couples as very much in love and weren't afraid to profess and show their love. In present day, it seems that Asian couples are more stoic - well...maybe more my parent's generation, do you see this. I typically do not see Asian couples as "lovey-dovey." I wonder why this is the case?

Sue Duong they're not that lovey-dovey, I think. The people in these stories show their love through action rather than words, which is maybe how your parents would act? Note that these people were undergoing some sort of tragedy, which would have forced them to be more demonstrative than they otherwise would be.

Mind you ever since I was a kid my auntie would tell us wonderful stories of the East and show us doll from China, Japan, Korea in glass coverings, (today you will not find beautiful dolls like that any more), books and pictures and grew up loving Chinese stories, culture etc... Mind you you, I am from the Caribbean Islands and still to this day still love and appreciate Chinese cultures(and every culture) is my first love...

Try searching for The Sorcerer and the White Snake on youtube and you should get a movie based on that legend.

I think the drama series he mentioned at the end is New Legend of Madame White Snake 1992. I also suggest: The Legend of Love 2002. This is a drama series about the story of the Cow Herder and the Weaving Maiden. The Little Fairy 2005. A very touching drama series with a similar story about a mortal man and an immortal maiden being in love. The Butterfly Lovers: Leon and Jo. This is an animated film based on the legend of the Butterfly Lovers. The Sorcerer and the White Snake 2011. This is a film about the legend of white snake. I think there are English subs for The Little Fairy, The Butterfly Lovers: Leon and Jo, and the Sorcerer and the White Snake, but I'm not sure about the others.

I just want to say that I love the instrumental choices for this video! The Butterfly Lovers Concerto for the Butterfly Lovers story and 神话 for the Meng Jiang story. I can't put my finger on the two other tracks, but they sound extremely familiar.

No, the Butterfly Lovers Concerto was a music piece composed by Chinese composers over 50 years ago that tells the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. It is really iconic and is used in basically all adaptations of the story.

The amazing thing about the second story is that there are parallels in Italian and Russian folk stories and fairytales, it goes to show just how much cultures can transect with one another.
