Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan

Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui, also known by many other names such as The Red-Maned Stallion, Wujiapo, Returning to the Cave, and The Story of the Colourful Tower, is a legend commonly performed in Chinese opera theatres. The story is set in the Tang dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong in the 9th century CE.

The story is known in the West as Lady Precious Stream ("Precious Stream" being a loose translation of the female protagonist's given name, Baochuan), as it was adapted for the British stage by Hsiung Shih-I, a Chinese academic living in England. It was performed at the Little Theatre in John Street, London, by the People's National Theatre, directed by Nancy Price and Hsiung, and ran for 1,000 nights. The play was later performed on Broadway at the Booth Theatre in New York, produced by Morris Gest.
