Why do people in China worship snakes?

Living fossils on the earth have lived on the earth for hundreds of millions of years, far exceeding the 5,000-year cultural history of China. When humans are creators, they are the old masters of the earth. In ancient China, snakes were first regarded as Teng Tu, such as Fuxi Nuwa, which appeared in various murals in the form of snakes.

Liezi records: Shuipao West, Wo Wo, Shenlong, Xia Houshi, Human Face Snake, Tiger Nose Bull. Most dragons in China mythology evolved from snakes, and all mountain gods feed on snakes, which shows the position of snakes in the traditional culture of China.

In the ancient folk culture of China, the snake was once a beautiful symbol, because it was the earliest totem of the Chinese nation and a primitive religious god, and was later called the ancestor god.

In primitive totem worship, one of our ancestors, Tai Hao people from Dongyi, China, worshipped snakes, and Fuxi legend also claimed that man was the first snake.

In some relief works in ancient China, Nu Wa and Fuxi were both snakes with human faces. This shows that snake worship has a long history. In the story of China's famous myth Nu Wa and Fuxi, it is recorded that Nu Wa and Fuxi are brothers and sisters in Han Dynasty literature.

Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty said: Fujian, southeastern Vietnam, species of snakes. This means that the Fujian people were Southeast Vietnamese at that time, and their totem was a snake.

China's animal modeling has gone through the process of isomorphism between man and beast and between god and man. Snake totem worship is the spirit of people and animals, which shows that the Chinese nation is a brave nation.
