What is the meaning of the old saying "three points for not hitting a snake and seven points for not dying"?

There is a saying in the countryside that seeing a snake is a three-point crime and hitting a snake is a seven-point crime. This sentence is often said before, and it is a superstitious old saying. What the hell does that mean? Does it make sense? Share it with everyone.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals. They are very aggressive and have venom on them. They are very dangerous animals. When you see a snake, you should take the initiative to kill it so that it won't hurt others. If you turn a blind eye to it, it may attack others. So these people were hurt because you didn't kill the snake in advance.

This sentence means that if you don't catch snakes, it's like if you don't catch bad guys, they will do other bad things. Because you didn't do it right, more people were hurt.

In many places, people are afraid of snakes. This mainly comes from previous myths and legends. At that time, some people thought that Nu Wa created everything. There is also the image of Nu Wa. Some people say that snakes are descendants of Nu Wa. Therefore, the local people will not catch snakes and eat snakes, and it is disrespectful to their ancestors to hurt the descendants of Nuwa.

They think snakes are spiritual, and if you don't kill them, they will retaliate. This is because you hurt your family on impulse.

If you don't hit a snake, you will be guilty for three points, and if you don't die, you will be guilty for seven points. Is it reasonable? This statement is completely nonsense.

Snakes are generally in nature. As long as we don't provoke them, they won't take the initiative to attack you. Many people who are bitten by snakes are for profit. For example, in some places, since they have the habit of eating snakes, they still don't like to eat cultured snakes, but only like to eat wild ones. Driven by interests, some people make a living by catching snakes.

In fact, I have seen one, the best way to deal with snakes. There is a man in our village. He takes a pair of pliers with him every time he goes out. When he met a snake, he pulled out its fangs and threw it into the wild. So snakes without fangs don't bite.

It is even more absurd to say that snakes will retaliate. Even if I accidentally hit a snake, I don't believe they will get on the elevator and seek revenge from me. I guess I was squashed by a passing car when I climbed onto the road.

To sum up, there is an old saying in the countryside that if you don't hit a snake, you will be guilty for three points, and if you don't die, you will be guilty for seven points. This is superstition and downright fallacy. In fact, not only people are afraid of snakes, but snakes are even more afraid of people. How can they attack people when they meet people who have no time to run? Unless you provoke them or enter their territory, and their territory is violated, they will naturally attack.
