爬行类动物蛇,人们既熟悉,又惧怕。因为它形态丑陋、狰狞,有攻击性,且部分还携带致命毒液,故而便成了阴险、狠毒的代名词。在“佛口蛇心”、“牛鬼蛇神”、“蛇蝎心肠”等等成语中,蛇的形象都是负面的。然而,在中国古老的民俗文化中,蛇曾经是美好的象征,是受人崇拜的形象,是华夏民族最早的图腾之一。 Reptiles, snakes, people are both familiar and afraid. Because of its ugliness, grim, aggressive, and some also carry a deadly venom, it has become a sinister, vicious synonymous. In the “Buddha mouth snake heart ” “snake Scorpio heart ” and so idioms, the image of the snake is negative. However, in the ancient Chinese folk culture, the snake was once a beautiful symbol, an image admired by the people and one of the earliest totems of the Chinese nation.
