folk custom

There is a saying among the Han people that it is unlucky to see a snake shed its skin. A folk proverb says, "When you see a snake skinning it, it won't die." Especially in spring, it is taboo. In Qinghai, if snakes are found at home, the most taboo is to kill them.

People think that if a snake is killed or not, 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.

Yilian in southern Fujian has a mild and humid climate and is suitable for all kinds of snakes. If a snake is found at home, it can't be killed. People think that snakes are sent by ancestors to patrol the safety. Whoever enters the house shows that the family believes in safety. If you find several snakes coiled together by the roadside, you should tear off one of your buttons to show your regret and walk away as if you didn't see it. It is said that this is snake mating, and the viewer is against the law.

The fifth day of the third lunar month is the Frightening Festival. Guizhou folk custom requires lightning protection, otherwise there will be snakes and insects that year. There is a saying among the people that "when thunder thunders, insects and snakes swarm."
