How do Indians manipulate snakes when they dance?

When it comes to the "open nation", everyone will definitely think of India, in our eyes India is a country full of magic, with a unique culture full of mystery, although India's infrastructure is still relatively lacking, the social environment is more complex, but it still attracts many ancient civilization lovers every year.

Many people's impression of India is "full of people" trains, colorful headscarves, syanas, etc., but if you go to India, you will know that the country's street culture is very "Indian". When a tourist travels in India, he sees "street performers" all over the streets, and the most common of them is the Indian "snake dancer". India's "snake dance" culture has a history of thousands of years, which is inseparable from India's promotion of snake culture.

In Hinduism, the snake is regarded as a spiritual creature, and the cobra is the incarnation of Shiva, one of the three main gods of Hinduism.

The snake dancer is an ancient profession in India, revered by Indians, and is regarded as the "yogi" in Hindu mythology, and the snake dancer has been with snakes for almost his entire life. Snake dancers wear traditional Indian costumes, amber earrings and beaded chains, carry several bamboo baskets and a wooden flute every day, and walk the streets and alleys around the world. As soon as they see a suitable place, they will sit on the ground, put the bamboo basket in front of them, and then puff up their cheeks and blow the flute in their hands, and it will not be long before the cobra in the basket will slowly stick out its head and sway from side to side with the sound of the flute, as if it is moving to the rhythm of this rhythm.

As soon as the whistle stopped, they immediately retracted into the basket.

The snake dance does look amazing, but visitors wonder why the Indian snake dancers are not attacked by snakes, but the snakes obediently listen to their "instructions". Even if we are with snakes every day, we all know that snakes, as cold-blooded animals, do not understand emotions. How exactly does the snake dancer do it?

So I asked the earth guide, and the earth guide told it that first of all, because of the long Indian snake culture, Indians have no fear of snakes at all, let alone snake dancers, they all have the skills taught by their ancestors and know how to avoid snake attacks. The second is that these snakes seem to be obediently controlled by snake dancers, in fact, not because they are "obedient", but because snakes are animals with low intelligence, they can only perceive the surrounding environment through sound waves, judge the direction, once they hear the sound of the flute, they will immediately poke their heads out to find the sound**, in order to protect their territory, swaying their bodies from side to side is also to warn other animals not to come and invade the territory.

The last point is that even if snake dancers are really accidentally bitten by snakes, they have their own special snake medicine, which can eliminate the toxicity as long as it is applied in time. However, tourists have heard that due to the decreasing income of snake dancers, many snake dancers have given up this profession, and snake dancers need to live in a humid environment with snakes for a long time, which is easy to get lung disease in the long run, and the risk is too high, so snake dancers are no longer as common as before. I think this "snake dance art" is also a unique scenery in India, and it is also an Indian culture, which is still worth passing on.

The snake itself is an animal with a low IQ, and can only judge the direction by sound waves, and the Indians generally control the snake through the sound of the flute, and if bitten they also have special snake medicine.

with sound. Snakes are cold-blooded, low-grade creatures that perceive their surroundings through sound waves, and when they dance, they make a flute sound that attracts them to poke their heads out in search of sounds**.

The snakes are controlled by playing the rhythm of the flute, and those snakes require a long period of training to dance.

Snake dancers in India used pepper and the leaf powder of two special plants to develop a drug to control the cobra's dance steps. By conditioning the snake in training. When the snake dancer gives a signal, the snake will dance to the sound of the flute vibrating in the air.

India has always been an "open nation" in everyone's impression, and their snake dance also makes people sweat.

Snakes do not have a high IQ, they can only sense their surroundings through sound waves, so as to judge the direction, once they hear the sound of the flute, they immediately poke their heads out to find the source of the sound, and as soon as the sound of the flute stops, they immediately retract. And snake dancing is a tradition of the Indians, who have accumulated experience over the years.

Indian snake trickery is actually a kind of demonstration of clever use of the physiological characteristics of snakes.

Snake trickster likes to use the gourd as a resonance cavity of the flute, this flute is characterized by the ability to vibrate the surrounding air, so that the snake can feel it, such a flute range is not ideal timbre, but the snake is easy to feel (the snake's hearing is mainly to perceive vibration).

The so-called craftsmanship of snake charmers has been passed down from generation to generation, and through some exaggerated but not irritating snake movements, it interacts with the snake's defeat, in fact, this is the instinctive nature of the snake, and there is not much domestication in it. Most snakes have a relatively low IQ and have little ability to learn. Because of this, the probability of snake charmers being bitten by snakes is still relatively high, and young people nowadays rarely engage in such risky work.

Regarding snake tricking, it involves some animal behavior issues, and it is easy to talk about, and if you don't understand, you can send me a message to communicate**.
