Notes
- General Note:
- This romantic tale originated during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). It tells the story of a poor man called Fang Qing. One day Fang Qing pays a visit to his aunt Madam Chen5 who gives him a cold reception. Fang Qing is furious and takes his leave. Her virtuous daughter Cui E, however, orders her servant girl Huan Caiping to place a food casket for Fang Qing in the Pearl Pagoda. His uncle Chen Lian also knows about the arrangement and pursues the matter. He advises his nephew to go back but Fang Qing is not willing to retreat. Chen Lian then marries off Cui E so that they have to part with each other. Fang Qing travels around and ends up being robbed by the illustrious thief Qiu Liuqiao. Fortunately an official named Bi Yunxian saves him and gives him shelter. Later Fang Qing marries his daughter Xiujin. Cui E longs for Fang Qing and becomes seriously ill. Her father sends out his servant Wang Ben to find Fang's mother but he cannot find her. Chen Lian then forges a letter to console his daughter and she recovers from her illness. When thanking the gods at the White Lotus Monastery for her recovery Cui E meets Fangfs mother, who is tyrannised by a Buddhist nun. Cui E and Caiping decide to set up a scheme to punish the nun. Fang Qing observes everything and finds that it is as it should be. He then disguises himself as a street singer to make secret inquiries. Finally mother and son meet again and Cui E is reunited with Fang Qing.
