The Legend of the Willow Pattern Plate


Two hundred years ago in China there was a Mandarin and his daughter called
Koong-se. The Mandarin wanted Koong-se to marry a rich Duke but she had fallen in love with Chang.
The Mandarin was furious. At the wedding Chang came in wearing clothes disguised as a servant. The Mandarin saw Chang and tried to chase them but he had too much wine in his stomach. After a moment he got up and chased them holding a whip in his hand. They escaped to an island.
The Duke sent some men to surround them. When they came out the men put them to death and the gods turned them in to a pair of doves.
