Folk sophistry ‖ Some taboos about snakes

There are all kinds of snakes, insects, birds and animals in the countryside. Encountering snakes can be said to be commonplace, but there are still some taboos about snakes. I'll tell you today!

1 snake enters the house.

Now there are more and more pictures and videos about snakes on the Internet, and there are also many news about snakes entering the home. People are afraid of snakes, so are snakes. Some snakes go near houses in search of food, mice, eggs and even poultry.

Some snakes like to enter the house and then stay around. At this time, many people choose to call the police at the first time, and then let the police uncle catch it. In the former countryside, if this happened, the correct way was to drive away and then burn some incense paper. If you kill it, your family fortune will not be very smooth for a year.

There is a story that a black snake entered a bachelor's house, but he refused to leave. The bachelor got angry and killed the snake and threw it away.

At night, he dreamed of his father, who said he went back to see his son, but he didn't expect his son to kill him. The dream lasted for several days, and the bachelor was afraid. He quickly buried the snake, burned some paper money, and then went to his father's grave to kowtow and burn paper. Since then, he has never had a similar dream!

Therefore, there is a folk saying that the snake that entered the house was changed by ancestors. At this time, we should burn some paper money and incense for our ancestors, and then respectfully invite the snake out of the house. And before and after the Dragon Boat Festival every year, sprinkle some kitchen ashes in front of and behind the house to prevent snakes from entering the house.

Don't see snakes in the trees when you go out.

It is very rare for snakes to climb trees. If you happen to see it, it means you won't be very lucky. I remember several times, my aunt went out to find firewood and saw a black snake crawling on a tree. She is running around. A month later, Auntie, Auntie got sick.

This is a real event that many people will never encounter. It means that you are really unlucky to meet.

Don't see the snake go into the hole when you go out.

When I was a child, my grandmother and I went to vegetable fields to pick vegetables. I jumped ahead and suddenly there was a hole with a tail. I told my grandmother loudly that she saw me and quickly pulled me away.

Later, grandma told me that if a snake enters the hole, it means that this person is unlucky. People you meet must be careful when they go out. Unfortunately, many inexplicable things will come to you.

Don't meet snakes when you go out.

When snakes intersect, two snakes are intertwined, such as mating.

This kind of thing will happen, but it is rare in the fields, and it is more likely to happen in the mountains. In summer, wild mushrooms come out and animals begin to breed. You must pay attention to going up the mountain.

It means you're unlucky, that's all. Anyway, in rural areas, snakes are generally non-toxic, and the more poisonous ones are bamboo leaves and cobras. But as long as you don't provoke it, it's generally nothing.

Don't see bald-tailed snakes when you go out.

Bald-tailed snakes, figuratively speaking, some snakes have shorter tails. In rural areas, short-tailed snakes are called ancestor snakes, so they should not be killed or bypassed.

The older generation will burn some incense paper when they meet, but the young people are not so particular about it.

Of course, if there is a snake at home now, call the forest police immediately and let the police uncle handle it. Be careful when going up the mountain, and avoid the snake.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, some things handed down by predecessors gradually disappear. This is just a microcosm of economic development. I hope to keep some valuable things.

After all, it is also a kind of historical and cultural wealth and the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors.
