What is the meaning of the rural saying "the mountain turtle, downhill pheasants can not touch"?

There are a lot of people who have been living in the city since they were young, and when they go to the countryside to play in the mountains and other places, they will hear a lot of local people will give us some sayings, and sometimes they don't know what the meaning is, for example, "the turtle on the mountain, the pheasant down the mountain can't be touched," "What does it mean?

Why can't you catch the turtle on the mountain, in fact, it has something to do with the traditional Chinese culture of the Chinese people. I'm sure you are not unfamiliar with a saying, "a thousand years of the king's eight, tens of thousands of years of turtles," can live a thousand years of the king's eight has long been more spiritual, small turtles in ancient Chinese culture we are treated as a spirit animal, the blackfish and small turtles together enough to show that wild snappers are spiritual. The blackfish is classified as an amphibious reptile, but most of the time it is all close to the water resources, the mountain water source is particularly low, so the wild turtle into the mountain is taken as a representative of bad luck.

Everyone we all know that the turtle is amphibious items, and they spend most of the time in the water, very little to the shore. Then if they come ashore, there must be a compelling reason, that is, egg laying. Although wild snappers are very easy to catch at the moment, the wild snappers that are caught at the moment are caught in clutches, not in a single clutch. Many wild snapper in the mother's belly are not yet born, will be swallowed by everyone, so many people will not catch such a thing under the wild snapper, in fact, also as for their own good deeds.

Downhill pheasants can not touch, in fact, is also on everyone's own safety into account. As we all know, wild chickens are different from domestic chickens, although it is not easy to fly, but its feathers can slide farther. And out of the mountain landscape for wild chickens is also easy, but for people but there are some difficulty coefficients, said the mountain is easy to get out of the mountain is difficult to see the wild chickens do not go to chase it, due to a little inattention will be easy to fall, do not then the wild chickens did not catch, on the contrary, their own fall injury, it can not be worth it.

While this is an exhortation to our means, it is hidden in the wisdom of the world: we can't just try to get the rights and interests in front of us and give up the overall interests; we can't see the rights and interests and put our own safety at risk. Therefore, the old ancestors according to the success of the experience left to the classic quotes, is the Chinese civilization inherited thousands of years to date the deposition of talent.
