This legend is asisociated with the Willow Ware pattern: Koong Shee, daughter of a mandarin, despite her father's opposition loved his secretary, Chang. The mandarin imprisoned her in a pavillion by the lake, over which willow trees hung their boughs, from which she was rescued by Chang. An alarm notified the father who pursued them across the bridge, but love triumphed and the pair entered a boat, usually shown in the design, and found safety on the opposite shore. Their happiness was disrupted by a former jealous suitor who discovesed their abode and set fire to it, killing the lovers. Their souls were united in the form of two doves, who are represented flying above the willow trees. A Year's Subsrciption to the Plaindealer !
