High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ye Xian or in the southern part, Yeh-Shen is a Chinese fairy tale that resembles Cinderella. The story first appears during the 9th Century in Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang. It is one of the oldest known variants of Cinderella and in fact pre-dates it by a few centuries. Ye Xian is the beautiful daughter of a scholar who has two wives. When her mother and then her father die from a local plague, Ye Xian is forced to become a lowly servant and work for her father's other wife (Ye Xian's stepmother) and her stepmother's daughter (her half-sister). Despite living a life burdened with chores and housework, she finds solace when she ends up befriending a beautiful, ten foot long fish in the lake. With golden eyes and scales, the fish is the reincarnation of her mother, who now watches out for her. Angry that Ye Xian has found happiness, her stepmother kills the fish and serves it for dinner for herself and her daughter. Ye Xian is devastated until a spirit appears and tells her to bury the bones of the fish in pots at each corner of her bed. The spirit also tells her that whatever she needs will be granted if she talks to the bones.
