China's No. 1 Snake Village, where snakes eat and live together with people, and villagers make fortunes by raising snakes

Since ancient times, we have heard the allusion between farmers and snakes. Although we don’t feel hateful towards snakes, we often just stay away from them.

Although we have also heard of beautiful love stories like the Legend of the White Snake, there are still a few people who can believe that snakes and people can live together, and even achieve the good wish of eating and living together.

I have heard many stories about people and snakes, but most of these stories are to advise humans that snakes are poisonous and should not be approached.

It seems that humans and snakes are natural enemies and cannot coexist. The ideal state is for humans and snakes to live in the same world without interfering with each other.

If someone said that eating and living with snakes, most people would find it unbelievable, but this is a fact.

There is a special village in China. People here do not raise livestock, let alone birds, but snakes.

Many people will not believe it after hearing this. After all, snakes have been inseparable from humans since ancient times. However, snakes are raised in this village, and people even use snakes to make a fortune.

Except for one or two families in the village, everyone in the village relies on raising snakes for a living.

1. China’s No. 1 Snake Village. Zisiqiao Village, Deqing County, Huzhou, Zhejiang, my country, is a small village with only a few hundred people, but there are more than 3 million snakes here. The number of snakes is hundreds of thousands of times that of people. many.

Even under such circumstances, humans and snakes can still coexist peacefully. It is not like what we heard on TV or in stories, snakes will retaliate against humans or even eat humans.

70% of the world's farmed snakes come from my country, and 30% of them are in Zisiqiao Village. These snakes are widely sold, and even some Southeast Asian countries buy them from my country.

Neighboring Japan and South Korea will learn some unique breeding techniques from our country. Therefore, Zisiqiao Village is not only the first commune in China, but also in the world.

The purpose of the villagers breeding is to make money. In order to breed more snakes, the villagers have studied the method of raising snakes very thoroughly.

People here not only raise snakes, but also kill and sell snakes. The villagers have also gained experience from constant exploration, and have broken down the snakes into subdivided parts in order to sell them at high prices, forming many industrial chains.

Just like the snake oil ointment we often hear, it contains snake ingredients. Although snakes are poisonous, they also have high medicinal value. Therefore, these farmed snakes are not used for food, but have higher medicinal value.

Use value.

Just like we often hear that snake gall has high medicinal value, in fact it is because it has a cooling effect and improves eyesight, so it is more expensive.

The reason why Snake Village breeds snakes starts with one person, because his unintentional actions not only allowed a formerly poor small village to develop into a world-famous village.

Although these snakes are poisonous, they can also be made into medicine. In particular, vipers can turn their venom into medicinal powder, which is an excellent antidote. Therefore, these villagers are not afraid of being bitten by snakes.

2. The first person in Snake Village, the "Snake King", is Yang Hongchang from Snake King Village. The villagers' raising of snakes is directly related to him.

The reason why Yang Hongchang keeps snakes is related to his own health. People living in the south are prone to rheumatism, and Yang Hongchang is no exception.

Because he suffered from rheumatism but had never been cured, he sought medical advice from many places. In Shanghai, he finally met an old Chinese medicine doctor who told him to try soaking snake gall in wine and drinking it.

After several years, Yang Hongchang's health gradually improved, and at the same time, he also came up with the idea of ??raising snakes. He thought that since snakes can cure diseases, why can't he raise snakes.

With his unremitting efforts, he gradually moved from catching and selling snakes to formal snake raising. He bought more than 4,000 snake eggs and started breeding them, making a lot of money.

After seeing him making money, the villagers also joined the snake raising industry, turning the village from a small village where eggs were exchanged for soy sauce to a rich village.

In just a few years, the number of snakes in the village has soared, exceeding 3 million.

Even neighboring villages were affected and started raising snakes. Coupled with the unique geographical location, it created a good growth environment for snakes. Therefore, raising snakes became a lifestyle given to them by God.

3. Is it true that snakes will take revenge?

We have always been troubled by the idea that snakes will take revenge, so we have a great fear of snakes. In fact, there is a certain misunderstanding in this.

Although there are many TV movies that depict the horror of snakes, in fact this is just people deliberately exaggerating the dangers of snakes.

In our common understanding, snakes are most afraid of realgar. So is this statement reliable?

There are 3,425 species of snakes in the world, and there are 241 species in my country. Although realgar has a certain effect on snakes, it is not as powerful as people say.

In fact, some snakes are not afraid of the smell of realgar at all, but for snakes, realgar is only stimulated by the smell and makes them feel uncomfortable. If you want to survive in the wild, Fengyoujing is the best snake repellent.

However, the idea that snakes are spiritual is only deliberately portrayed by people. In India, snakes are considered to be gods and will bless them.
