In this work, we systemically investigate the molecular states from the interaction with the help of the Lagrangians with heavy quark and chiral symmetries in a quasipotential Bethe–Salpeter equation (qBSE) approach. The molecular states are produced from isodoublet (I=1/2)
interaction with spin parity
and
interaction with
and
. Their masses and widths are consistent with the
,
and
observed at LHCb. The states,
,
and
, are also produced with the same parameters. The isodoublet
interaction with
, as well as the isoquartet (I=3/2)
interactions with
and
,
interaction with
and
, are also attractive while very large cutoff is required to produce a molecular state. We also investigate the origin of the widths of these molecular states in the same qBSE frame. The
channel is dominant in the decays of the states,
,
,
, and
. The
state has large coupling to
channel while the
,
and
channels provide similar contributions to the width of the
state. These results will be helpful to understand the current LHCb experimental results, and the three predicted states and the decay pattern of these hidden-charmed molecular pentaquarks can be checked in future experiments.
