    Some cemeteries are suitable for snakes to live in, because some cemeteries are in disrepair and inaccessible, and the coffin is very shady underneath, so snakes will choose to live in such places. Personally, I feel that the presence of snakes in the grave is not the reason for some superstition that people say. And in daily life, if you encounter snakes in the grave, it is generally a little far away from the village, because it is old and it is normal for creatures to appear in the grave that is inaccessible, so according to my observation, it is understandable that there are snakes in the grave.

    It's hard to say whether poisonous snakes often appear in graves in rural areas, because I haven't encountered them, but snakes do be found around graves from time to time. After all, snakes are burrowing animals, except for some aquatic snakes, most snakes often inhabit caves, and prefer cool, damp, and overgrown places, and graves just meet these conditions, especially some older ones.

    From the perspective of ancestral tomb maintenance, it is better to have a snake than not to have a snake at all. If there are more rats, they will burrow. Without snakes, ancestral tombs would have collapsed due to rats.

    With snakes, rats do not dare to burrow. The ancestral tomb is rarely disturbed, the environment is quiet, for snakes, the habitat is particularly important, snakes like quiet places, especially when it is easiest to hibernate, and the ancestral tomb, no one enters at night, and few people stay during the day, there are many trees around, it is the best quiet hiding place for snakes.

    There is an old saying in the village: one person is not as good as a thousand people to sleep, this old saying refers to a good cemetery, which has a great impact on the wealth of the family, it is said that even if thousands of people are constantly working and laboring, the effect is not as easy as having a good cemetery, which also shows the importance of the cemetery, it is crucial to the fate of the family. Snakes like shady places, and graves and coffins naturally create a shady environment, which is very suitable for snakes, and people often burn incense in the graves, leaving a lot to eat, attracting a lot of small animals.

    False, because judging whether it is a poisonous snake or not depends on its living habits, and it has nothing to do with being infested in the cemetery.

    The reason for this situation has a lot to do with the living habits of snakes. Snakes are burrowing animals, except for some aquatic snakes, most snakes often inhabit burrows and prefer shady, damp, overgrown places, and graves meet these conditions, especially some of the older ones.

    First of all, let's talk about the living environment: most of the tombs that have been relatively long have not been repaired for a long time, coupled with long-term wind and rain, most of the tombs are damp and dark, and there are few human activities in the cemetery, so the environment is relatively quiet and hidden, which is very suitable for snakes to live in.

    Secondly, look at the food situation: around the grave, there are often some small animals nesting around, such as rabbits, rats and the like, these animals are the main food for snakes**, and the holes they make can also provide a good shelter for snakes, there is food and shelter, how can snakes not like to live in the cemetery!

    So in general, the environment is suitable, the atmosphere is quiet, and the food is plentiful, which meets most of the conditions necessary for the life of snakes, and snakes naturally like to haunt such an environment.

    Because snakes prefer quieter, cooler, undisturbed places, the graveyard becomes their habitat.

    In the countryside, snakes are venomous not only in the graveyards, but also in the rivers, on the hillsides, in the crops, and even on the roofs of houses. The most common poisonous snake in the countryside is the "soil cloth bag", because its color is very similar to the soil, it is entrenched in the crops, people do not pay attention to it can basically not see it, because its color and the color of the soil is too similar. In the past, when cutting wheat, grass, and rice, people first used a sickle to make some movement, so that the wind and grass would blow, and the snake would be scared away.

    Farmers pay special attention when harvesting crops, for fear of being hurt by poisonous snakes, but there are also times when it is impossible to prevent it, especially after cutting the rice, there are often "dirt bag" snakes in the rice pile, every time I hold the rice, I first use the sickle to beat the rice pile, if there is a snake will run away. But the snake also has a nap, a laborer in the village was hidden in the rice pile of poisonous snake bite on the arm, the whole arm was swollen, and then found a folk ** snake venom old man, only to cure him, I heard the old man say that the snake venom spread quickly, ** will die if not in time.

    There is also a common poisonous snake in the countryside, the body is flowery, and the two colors are usually alternating in a circle, and the villagers call it "the flower drum long worm". It was found in the courtyard of the Kodaira family, such snakes are thick and long, and they are also very poisonous. In the summer, a woman slept in the yard and was bitten by a "flower drum worm", and later died.

    In the past, in the countryside, there were not only poisonous snakes in the cemetery, but also poisonous snakes in other **. Nowadays, a large number of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. are used in the countryside, the ecological environment has been seriously destroyed, and there are fewer and fewer snakes in the countryside.

    This is not true, poisonous snakes generally prefer to stay in cool and damp areas, and they may appear in cemeteries because they are sparsely populated and relatively desolate.

    There is a snake in the cemetery, it may be a repentant coffin beast, and it cannot be frightened. According to feng shui rumors, there is a snake in the cemetery feng shui, which is a symbol of the dragon. In ancient times, it was a sign that there would be a dragon among the three generations!

    At that time, the appearance of this sign had to be kept strictly secret, and the Son of Heaven could not be informed, otherwise the royal family would take assassination actions for fear that the throne would be shaken and the country would not be protected!

    Traditional feng shui believes that the appearance of a snake in the tomb is a good omen, the snake is a dragon, and the snake in the tomb means that the tomb has good feng shui and is a "living dragon land", and the coffin should not be relocated to another place. The snake in the ancestral tomb is the place where the souls of the ancestors return, and it also shows that the descendants are vigorous. When future generations see a snake, do not hurt it, for if it is harmed, something bad may happen, and if the snake dies, it is a great omen.

    However, there is another folk theory that the tomb has a snake, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. This starts with where the grave is, who is buried in the grave, and when it was buried. P. Rush.

    However, there is no actual basis for the above statement, I don't know whether it is true or false, but in the face of such a situation, it is better to believe it or not, or we should be more cautious and pay attention to it, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble and harm!

    It's easy to understand that the countryside always focuses on houses and graves. The house they live in is a yang house in Australia, and the tomb refers to the yin house. Both of these are related to household wealth and trends.

    In the countryside, it is known as "one life, two movements and three feng shui", which has been said a lot. There is also an old saying in the countryside that "it is better for a thousand people to sleep than to work". This old saying refers to a good cemetery that has a great impact on family wealth.

    It is said that even with thousands of people working and toiling non-stop, the effect is not as easy as having a good cemetery, which also shows the importance of the cemetery and is crucial to the fate of the family. There is an old saying in the countryside that "the monument in front of the grave damages the poor family, and the snake and rat sound like an alarm bell". What do you mean?

    What do you mean by "the grave monument damages the family's poverty, and the snake and rat sound like an alarm bell"? Is it reasonable?

    It is common to erect a monument in front of a grave. The monument is erected first to show the solemnity of the cemetery, and secondly, to show reverence for future generations. For this reason, the erection of monuments in rural areas has become especially common in recent years.

    The monument should be erected regularly, the monument should be erected upright, and the tombstone should not be damaged. If the tombstone is crooked or damaged, and it has not been improved for a long time, it also indicates that the family will become poorer and poorer, and the family will have less and less property. People will be scarce, why does the old saying say that?

    There's a reason for that. The ancestral tomb is sacrificed many times a year. The main festival days are Qingming and July.

    Ten. May and October 1 are important sacrifice days.

    What do you mean by "the grave monument damages the family's poverty, and the snake and rat sound like an alarm bell"? Is it reasonable?

    If you go to the sacrifice more often, it is easy to find out if the tombstone is normal. If the tombstone is crooked or damaged, needless to say, the descendants of the cemetery will repair it as soon as possible. Tombstones should be straightened, and damaged and incomplete ones should be repaired as soon as possible.

    Therefore, if the descendants are filial, they will go to the sacrifice and sweep the tomb every year. However, if the descendants are poor, sparsely populated, or unfilial, they will naturally go to the underworld, and the vast land and sparse population will naturally cause the family to decay, and it will be difficult to get better. If you are an unfilial person, it is naturally difficult to achieve a prosperous family.

    So, in this respect, there is some truth in this sentence.

    The grave headstone should not only be straight, but also mutilated, which is also related to fortune. So, there are always a lot of these exquisite villages. In addition to these notes, if there are a lot of rat holes and snakes on the grave, it should be repaired as soon as possible.

    After rat and snake holes are discovered, they should be buried or captured as soon as possible. If left unchecked, it will bring bad luck to the family. Snake and rat nest is not a good word.

    So, first of all, these caves lead to the destruction of tombs and lead to many undesirable consequences. But if there are more and more rat holes and snake nests, and there is still no improvement, it also means that future generations are poor or unfilial, and they will naturally become poorer and poorer.

    What do you mean by "the grave monument damages the family's poverty, and the snake and rat sound like an alarm bell"? Is it reasonable?

    There are many sayings in the countryside, especially about houses or graves, that have been developed over many years of experience. Until now, these statements are still talked about by everyone, and the side explanations also have some truth. What do you think about this? Comments and messages are welcome.

    Without any scientific basis, the cemetery is generally in a sparsely populated and remote place, where it is overgrown with weeds, which just fits the living environment of poisonous snakes, and naturally poisonous snakes will infest.

    It's just a superstition and there is no basis for it, and for snakes any place can be a habitat.

    I remember when I was a child, I often heard the old people in my hometown say, don't go to the grave to play, because the grave is not only very angry, but also often poisonous snakes, this kind of snake is generally the spirit snake that guards the master, and it is highly poisonous, if someone approaches, the snake will bite people, and generally be bitten by the snake in the grave will lose their lives. Because when I was a child, I often watched Lin Zhengying's zombie films, in which I often played the appearance of a poisonous snake in the coffin, so I believed in the old man's words, and I still have a deep sense of fear in my heart when I see a grave overgrown with weeds.

    The appearance of snakes in our daily graveyards is indeed a common thing, for example, some time ago, when the neighbor went to sweep the tomb, he saw a big red snake next to his ancestral grave, and the neighbor came back and was happy to say that there should be a good thing happening in the ancestral grave when the snake appeared in the family. In fact, I feel that the appearance of snakes in the cemetery is not some superstitious reason that people say, and if you encounter snakes in the cemetery in daily life, it is generally those graveyards that are a little far away from the village, old and inaccessible, so according to my observations, I found that the main reasons for the appearance of snakes in the cemetery are as follows.

    First of all, some cemeteries are suitable for snakes to live in, because some cemeteries are in disrepair, inaccessible, and the coffin is very shady underground, so snakes will choose to live in this kind of place. Secondly, there is enough food in the cemetery for snakes to catch, because the cemetery is overgrown with weeds, so there will be some birds, lizards or frogs and other small animals, these small animals are usually some animals that snakes like to prey, so they just fit the appetite of snakes, so snakes will build nests in the cemetery to survive. Finally, snakes generally don't like human interference, and the cemetery happens to be a place where people are taboo to go, and the cemetery environment is suitable and food resources are abundant, so snakes will choose to breed in the cemetery.

    Moreover, the snakes living in the cemetery are not what people call poisonous snakes, and they are generally dominated by common local snakes, such as the red snakes that we often see in our cemetery, mainly because there are more red snakes in our area. Most of the claims of poisonous snakes are superstitious claims that people use to spread falsehoods, and this claim is not valid in real life.

    I think it's because there are few people and poisonous snakes can survive, so all the snakes that haunt the cemetery are poisonous snakes.
