Tale of the Lychee Mirror

The Tale of the Lychee Mirror (traditional Chinese: 荔鏡記; simplified Chinese: 荔镜记; pinyin: Lì jìng jì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Nāi-kèng-kì, Lē-kèng-kì), also widely known as Dang San and Ngou Nio (陳三五娘,  literally meaning the story of the third son of the Dang family and the fifth daughter of the Ng family), is a cornerstone of traditional Teochew opera (潮劇) and Southern Min culture. The play can be traced back to at least 1566 (Ming dynasty), and the author is unknown. It is one of the oldest surviving vernacular scripts in the Teochew Min dialect.
