Snakes lured Adam and Eve to steal the forbidden fruit, which led to the special symbolic significance of snakes in western culture.

As a cultural symbol, snake has different meanings in eastern and western civilizations. In the values of eastern society, snakes represent the origin and cycle of life and symbolize the birth and growth of life. We can prove from a mythical figure that this mythical figure is our creator, Nu Wa, who is the creator of the East. She has no normal human form, but a snake with a face!

Many people will wonder. In fact, it is a symbol of the cultural symbol of Chinese civilization. In China, the snake is considered as the earliest dragon in China, which is a variant of the dragon. Therefore, snakes were highly regarded in ancient China, and many tribes regarded snakes as their own totem! But in western civilization, the symbolic meaning of snakes has changed, and snakes are considered as the representative of evil in western civilization!

All this is actually related to western religious legends, that is, to a story in the Christian Bible! God created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in the west, and warned them not to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, but Eve was bewitched by snakes and finally tasted the forbidden fruit from the tree of good and evil. Finally, Adam and Eve were punished together and driven out of the Garden of Eden!

Snakes have a specific meaning in this myth and legend. Snakes bewitched Eve, causing human beings to have original sin, so snakes are not popular in the West. As a cultural symbol, snakes are regarded as a symbol of bad luck, disaster, ugliness and evil in the west. In fact, this is also reflected in other western cultural phenomena, such as the "Queen Medusa" in Greek mythology, which is also a symbol of evil!
