What happens if a snake enters the house and is bitten to death?

In Qinghai, if snakes are found at home, the most taboo is to kill them. People think that if a snake is crushed to death by a quilt or can't be crushed to death, it will retaliate, which is not good for the family. So if you find a snake at home, catch it in a pot or pick it on a long pole, then send it to the valley and beg it to hide in a cave and never go back to someone else's house.

In the past, people in China were superstitious, and generally adopted a protective attitude towards domestic snakes living in their own rooms, especially in China in the north, which regarded domestic snakes as a "treasure of the town house" and treated them with courtesy and respect.

Therefore, in the past, house snakes occasionally wandered between the halls in the house, and the owner of the house would wait for it to return to the beams or cellar, and warned naughty children not to disturb it, so as not to scare away the house snakes.

Why can't we shoot snakes at home?

1. Many old people think that it is local custom not to kill domestic snakes. Moreover, there is a saying in many places in China that snakes belong to the Five Immortals and are full of spirituality, which will bring wealth. Killing domestic snakes will be a disaster. There is also a saying that a snake enters the house, but when the dead old man comes back, don't drive him away, let alone hit him. This is a domestic snake! Better burn some incense on the old man's grave.

2. However, from a scientific point of view: In fact, if there are snakes at home, it means that the environment at home is suitable for snakes to live. Only when there is snake food, snakes will come to your home. As we all know, snakes eat mice, insects and so on. If you kill the snake, the rat disaster in your house will be more serious. Instead of killing the snake, it is better to move it to a place near the house, which is good for both sides.
