The implication of double snake-dish frog brocade

Frog pattern is the second basic pattern in the social and cultural remains of matriarchal clan in China. It is a little later than the fish pattern, but it is more widely distributed.

Frog symbolizes women's uterus and women, such as the decorative pattern of baby-patterned painted pottery pots unearthed in Jiangzhai, Linchong. The inner wall is painted with a frog with a round belly with many black spots representing eggs.

Give two more examples of folklore.

First, in Chen Zhong, Gansu, there is a flower:

"Black snakes bite green frogs" is unabashedly said. Snakes are equal to men's roots and frogs are equal to women's vaginas. Although the language is vulgar, the "original ecology" explanation from the people may be the closest to the true colors of things.

Secondly, in Hebei, the paper-cut "snake" picture of the Chinese zodiac consists of snakes and frogs. This is easy to remind people of the snake doll ritual bread widely circulated in traditional marriage customs. We know that it is not a reflection of real life, but a symbol of sexual intercourse between men and women.
