Bai Suzhen is often depicted as a white snake with the ability to transform into a beautiful young woman, or a large snake. During earlier depictions of this script – the Tang tale “Li Huang” and the Song “huaben” version Bai Suzhen was shown as a she-demon who was a malevolent seductress. She was seen as a seductress who would hunt down male partners. In the Ming and Qing version, Bai Suzhen depiction was changed to have a morally good depiction, showing more of a loving and caring side.
