According to the history books, Liu Bang, the great-great grandfather, was drunk and met a big snake on the road at night. He didn't give it to the snake, but he cut it, and it was still a white snake! !

This photo suddenly appeared in my mind!

Gaozu, are you sure there's nothing green next to you?

This is just fooling the people!

Actually, it's very simple. At the beginning, he took a group of people to Mount Li to do corvee, only walked dozens of kilometers, and then slipped away a group of people.

According to the Qin law, if you don't arrive on time or the number is wrong, you will be beheaded.

As soon as he sees this, he will definitely lose his head. Forget it. Everyone in the village should not die. Let's resolve it on the spot. Go home if you can, for fear of being caught again. Come and hide with me for a while, the wind will pass.

This hiding is for several years!

Later, there were uprisings in various places. When Liu Bang and his party saw it, it was great. They would definitely leave us alone and simply vote for him. Unexpectedly, this ticket made a fortune and finally became the new owner of the world.

Turning around, I talked about this incident in those days, adding fuel to the fire, and it became the story of Liu Bang cutting the snake and Chi Di's afterlife.

But why snakes, not other animals?

Killing a tiger, isn't a leopard worse!

I guess, first, in the Qin Dynasty, people thought snakes were very spiritual animals; Second, there are many snakes in the place where grass falls, which is easy to believe.

At that time, the place where Liu Bang and others went was called Python Dangshan, which was also called "Python Dangshan" in ancient times.

What is a python?

It's a big snake!

Since there are many pythons, and a group of them have fallen into the grass there, they must be met frequently. Killing a few snakes is not unusual.

Python can also be divided into three or six categories. If that python is in the water, not to mention people, even horses will be towed away for you, then it is estimated that there will be nothing behind Gaozu.

Fortunately, that kind of python mainly lives in the tropics, while the great-grandfather Liu Bang lives in the temperate zone, so they can't touch each other.

The python in Mangdang Mountain is mainly a reticulated python, which is not uncommon. Someone met it while patrolling the mountain.

The skin of this snake itself has a reticular pattern, which is relatively less black.

In ancient times, the ancients thought that white-haired animals were the most spiritual, such as white tigers, white foxes and white snakes, with high grades.

In fact, this is albinism, it's no big deal.

As for the great-great-grandfather Liu Bang, it is not clear whether he really met the albino net python, or whether later generations described it this way.

Today, the reticulated python has been listed as a national first-class protected animal. Whoever cuts with a knife casually again, even if you are the pavilion owner, according to the law, the end is the same.
