In the The Journey to the West, Thunder Lord and Dian Mu in the sky are responsible for thunder and rain, and the Dragon King can also order rain. These are all an imagination of the ancients. The weasel used to be a special existence in people's eyes. In the eyes of the ancients, "yellow, white and gray fox willow" is an inedible "big fairy", in which "yellow" refers to the weasel.
Legend has it that this animal is very spiritual, not only has fairy magic, but also can cultivate human form. Weasels like to steal chickens, but after being caught, most people dare not kill them, because at that time it was said that "killing or eating weasels will pay off." Northeasters like to eat game, but they don't eat weasels.
Scientists say: In fact, weasels really can't be killed. Why do you say that? Because weasels like to steal chickens, but they also like to eat mice. Rats can be seen everywhere and are harmless. Rats are not only ubiquitous, but also spread bacteria after stealing food. As far as cities are concerned, rats will bring bacterial hazards to families and lead to food loss.
In rural areas, mice will steal crops and destroy the grain harvest. The existence of weasels can solve a large number of mice and contribute to the survival of mankind. According to the data, 1 weasel can kill more than 1 000 mice in1year. If there were no weasels, rats would flood again. With the passage of time, people's views on weasels have gradually changed.
From 65438 to 0997, the so-called weasel possession incident occurred in Henan. At that time, it was widely rumored that there was a farmer in Henan who kept a weasel at home, but they killed these animals, and the result was later retribution. The whole incident sounds a bit bizarre. But with the popularization of science and technology, people have a further understanding of the weasel's point of view.
The weasel is actually recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica. 1578, Compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen included 1892 kinds of herbs. He mentioned the medical function of the weasel: it can kill parasites and treat abdominal pain, but it is toxic.
Therefore, from a scientific and medical point of view, we should not eat such game, nor should we kill weasels at will to maintain ecological balance and make our home more beautiful. Protecting the environment and caring for animals will make the earth better and human beings grow healthily.
