Why are snakes afraid of centipedes and centipedes afraid of cocks?

1, snakes are afraid of centipedes because centipedes can kill snakes very well.

The centipede climbed onto the snake's head and bit the snake's eyes, which made the snake lose its resistance immediately and eventually died of centipede poison. Scolopes can also enter the belly of snakes from Shekou, killing snake venom.

2, centipede is afraid of roosters, because chickens can solve centipede poison.

There is a folk proverb in Chaoshan, called "centipede bites, mother hen covers;" Ganlong (Gecko) has a big title. "This also shows that chickens can detoxify centipedes. The so-called "chicken cover" means that the chicken's ass is covered on the wound bitten by the centipede, so that the centipede's poison can be sucked out, disinfected and dissolved, and people can be safe and sound.

About centipede fighting snakes, ancient Qu Dajun's "Guangdong Xinyu" is also recorded. He said, "a hundred feet of pole head, two ya" is called "maggot", which can subdue a snake. Every time I enter the snake's stomach from my mouth, I can't get close to the snake. "

It means: centipedes have hundreds of feet, which are called maggots in erya. They can subdue the snake, enter its belly from Shekou and set maggots in the mountains, but the snake can't get close.

Hipsters have worshipped snakes since ancient times. By the Qing Dynasty, the whole Chaoshan had the custom of worshipping snakes, especially Chaozhou City. In addition, the unique shape of centipede has left a deep impression on people's minds, so there are many things named after centipede. Such as centipede boat, centipede flag, centipede bridge, centipede ridge and so on.
