According to the elders at home, where there are snakes, there will be good luck, which means seeing snakes can be counted as a good thing. As we all know, the life of ordinary people in the past was not as rich as it is now. People used to live in poverty, and what they lacked most was food. For ordinary people, the food at home is not more than half that of the landlord's house. Rats often appear in places with a lot of food, but we know that snakes are the natural enemies of rats, so the appearance of snakes can help farmers protect their food from rats. For farmers, if they see snakes, they will not drive them away at the first time. On the contrary, they will try their best to raise them and then use them to kill mice at home. From the point of view of suppressing rats by snakes, the existence of snakes keeps farmers' food, so they are often regarded as beneficial animals in people's minds.
In addition, people will regard snakes as a symbol of financial resources. From this perspective, snakes are also considered to be beneficial animals. In the past, in some rural areas, people often regarded snakes as the representative of dragons, because snakes are similar in shape to dragons and like to be called dragons. Besides, snakes are connected with each other, so they are also called money strings. Therefore, if someone has a snake at home, they will think that this family will have a fortune in the future. Not only that, people will also regard snakes as a symbol of good luck. If there are snakes at home, it means that the future will be rich and there will be no disasters, so for ancient people, they especially hope to see snakes.
