Bai Suzhen (Chinese: 白素貞), also known as Lady Bai (Chinese: 白娘子; lit. 'Lady White'), is a one-thousand-year-old white snake spirit and the title character of the Legend of the White Snake, one of China's "four great folktales".[1] The legend has been adapted into several Chinese operas, films, television series and other media.[2][3] In some versions of the legend, Bai Suzhen becomes a goddess; her worshippers refer to her as Madam White Snake (Chinese: 白蛇娘娘).[4]
Bai Suzhen is regarded as a symbol of true love and good-heartedness by the Chinese people.[5]
