Why are people born in the Year of the Snake called "little dragons"? Revealing the flaws of Snake people

In the Chinese zodiac, the Snake ranks sixth, right after the Dragon. Among people's zodiac signs, many are also born in the Year of the Snake. But in daily life, people born in the Year of the Snake generally say they are born in the Year of the Little Dragon rather than saying they are born in the Year of the Snake. So why is the Snake sign shunned by people, and is there really some taboo about saying you were born in the Year of the Snake? Today, the editor will reveal to you the influence of the Snake sign on people.

First, let's look at the snake as a species. In people's general impression, snakes are cold-blooded animals with no limbs, crawling by twisting their long bodies, fond of living in dark, damp and sparsely populated places. Snakes have sharp teeth, and the way they hunt prey is also very dangerous and strange. Moreover, snakes appear eerily, do not have the likable traits of mammals, and in life there are often incidents of snakes biting people and snakes eating people. So they are treated with disdain by people, who are generally afraid of snakes and think of them as images of treachery, petty villains and fierce ghosts.

But why then does the snake appear in the Chinese zodiac? According to folk legend, when the animal kingdom was selecting the twelve zodiac signs back then, the mouse forgot to wake the cat up, so the cat did not make the list, and thus the cat became the mouse's natural enemy, catching mice whenever it sees them. The tiger represented felines and ranked third, while the dragon, because its body was long and narrow and it moved inconveniently, ranked fourth. The snake followed right after the dragon, because the snake looks very similar to the dragon. When an animal saw this, it said to the dragon, "The dragon clan is really something, bringing its son along to take part in the rankings." From then on, the snake was called the little dragon by people.

The dragon is the totem of Eastern people and also the embodiment of justice and strength, deeply loved by people, so among people's zodiac signs, those born in the Year of the Snake, to avoid the unpleasant image of the snake, renamed their Snake sign as the little dragon. The term "little dragon" is not only pleasant to hear, but also does not make people feel repulsed. As time went on, people no longer kept "born in the Year of the Snake" on their lips, and saying they were born in the Year of the Little Dragon became a habit.

So are people born in the Year of the Snake actually good or not? Some people say: Snake people are rational and decisive, full of wisdom and courage, have very good skin, and are also full of humor. But others also say: Snake people are sinister and cunning, their lives are full of ups and downs, and they are dishonest.

In fact, these sayings are just evaluations people make based on their own preferences. There is no need to take them seriously. People's zodiac signs are merely the wording of the ancient theory of yin and yang. It is just that in life everyone hopes to have a nice-sounding name, so "born in the Year of the Little Dragon" is kept on people's lips. As for whether being born in the Year of the Snake is actually good or not?

The editor thinks that things depend on human effort. If you are a good person, then even if you were born in the Year of Poop, you would still be liked by people.
