① What do turtles and snakes mean?
The symbolic meaning of snakes and turtles The symbolic meaning of snakes and turtles People often call Snake Ya "little dragon" to show their respect. The skin shed by a snake is called snake slough, also known as "dragon's clothing"; in folk custom, the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is the day when snakes end hibernation and come out of their holes, also known as "dragon's head". These all compare snakes to dragons. In fact, the dragon is also formed by people's imagination and imagination based on the snake. Although they are similar, the status and symbolic meaning of worship of snakes and dragons are very different. Perhaps because dragons do not really exist, people can shape the image of dragons at will, but everyone has seen snakes, especially venomous snakes that can be fatal to people, so people have a very bad impression of snakes. The dragon has a very lofty status in Chinese culture. It is a symbol of power, nobility, and greatness, as well as a symbol of luck, auspiciousness, and success. Therefore, in the feudal dynasty, dragons were reserved exclusively for others and others were not allowed to overstep them. The emperor is called the "true dragon emperor", and the emperor's descendants are called "dragon sons and grandsons". As descendants of Yan and Huang, the Chinese are also known as the descendants of the dragon. This shows that the status of dragon is very high. If the dragon is "spring and snow", in comparison, the symbolic meaning of the snake as the prototype of the dragon cannot even be considered as a "lower Riba man". The first thing people think of when it comes to the symbolic meaning of snakes is its viciousness. Many people feel an inexplicable fear when they think of snakes. There was once a young lady who was fishing in a pond and suddenly caught a small water snake. The young lady was so frightened that she screamed, dropped her fishing rod as if she was electrocuted, and ran away. In fact, this is just an ordinary water snake, not a venomous snake. So why are people so afraid of snakes? In addition to the weird appearance of snakes, the main reason is the influence of myths, legends and fables about poisonous snakes on people. Venomous snakes only account for a very small number in the entire snake family, and very few people have ever been bitten by a venomous snake. However, the story of the Guantian venomous snake has given people a deep preconceived impression of snakes, and most people have never seen it. Snakes, even before you know what a snake is, you already have a fear of snakes.
② The explanation and opinion of the idiom "the turtle is longer than the snake"
It means that although the turtle is short in shape, its life is longer than that of the snake. A proposition used by ancient famous scholars in their debates was intended to illustrate the relativity of length and size. Reply to "Zhuangzi: The World": "Hui Shi takes this as the greatest. He looks at the world and understands the debaters, and the debaters in the world are happy with each other... The tortoise is longer than the snake; the square cannot be square, the rule cannot be round; the chisel cannot make a circle. "Lu Deming explained: "The turtle is longer than the snake. Sima Yun: 'Although the snake shape is long, its life is short, and the turtle shape is short but its life is very long.'" Song Hongmai's "Rong Zhai Essays: Take Half of the Chi Hui": "Zhuangzi." "Huizi's words are recorded in the book: "One foot of a stick, half of it will be taken every day, and it will last forever." Although it is a fable, the principle is solid... The scene of the turtle being longer than the snake and the flying bird have not been touched, and so on, it is not. "The words can be said to be capable." Also known as "The turtle is longer than the snake." Zhang Binglin's "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan Reading·Xi Gong Pian·筮 short and turtle long": "Looking for famous scholars, there is a saying that 'the turtle is longer than the snake', but it cannot be determined based on the length of his years, not the length of his knowledge." ”
