One of the two main characters in the story, an ordinary snake becomes a huge white python. Before Liu Bang cut the snake, Bai Python said, "What you owe will be paid back one day. If you cut off my head, I will usurp yours; If you cut off my tail, I will usurp you. "
Liu bang cut the white python in two with one sword. So the Western Han Dynasty spread to Pingdi, and the white snake reincarnated Wang Mang, poisoned Pingdi, and usurped Han as the new one. After the revival of Guangwu and the demise of Wang Mang, the Han Dynasty was restored and Liu's Eastern Han Dynasty was established. Both the East and the West happened to spread for more than 200 years.
