《白蛇记》只是有“白蛇”存在的简单故事,并不具备“白蛇传”的故事内核。“白蛇传”的发轫之作是话本《西湖三塔记》,该故事的主题是警告世人不要贪恋美色,与《白蛇记》的主题相似。有论者从男女婚姻、女权主义的角度来解读该作品,是无视作品人物特殊身份和时代环境的误读。也有研究者由于断句错误,对白衣妇人的身份存在错误认识。 “White Snake” is only a simple story of “White Snake”, and does not have the “White Snake” story core. The origin of the White Snake “is the storybook” The Three Towers of the West Lake, “the theme of which is to warn the world not to covet beauty, similar to the theme of” White Snake ". Some scholars interpret this work from the perspective of marriage between men and women and feminism, which is a misunderstanding of the special status of the characters and the times. Some researchers also mistakenly identify the identity of a white woman because of the wrong sentence.
