    In fact, the difficulty of this sentence is what gold and silver are. They were not valuables such as gold and silver as we understand them now, but reptiles that scared many people, namely krait snakes and kraits. So the proverb literally means that the krait can be touched, but the krait should never be touched.

    Because it is highly toxic and deadly. Of course, it's best not to touch these two snakes. Both are very toxic.

    The ancients said this to highlight that the krait is more venomous than the krait and to warn people to stay away from these two animals.

    There is a lot of wildlife in the countryside, among which snakes are also very common. Some snakes even crawl into the house. Snakes that return home are usually non-venomous.

    There is also a saying in the countryside that the snake that enters the house is the water line and cannot be beaten. As for the more common venomous snakes in the countryside, it is the krait and the silver krait. These two snakes both look similar, but they can actually be said to be close relatives.

    They all belong to the cobra, the ancient snake. But there is a difference in appearance. Among them, the krait snake has a pattern between black and yellow, and the silver krait has a black and white pattern.

    Another point is that the tail of the krait is pointed, and the tail of the krait is slightly sluggish compared to the tail of the silver krait. When it comes to snakes, many people are very scared of what they think. The colorful appearance of the snake is indeed frightening, and the snake letter in the form of swimming can paralyze the scalp even more.

    Most of the wild venomous snakes are in the south, and most of the northern areas are non-venomous snakes. Of the many venomous snakes, the most venomous ones have the fastest onset of the snake, rather than the ones that appear to be large, and some individuals look like small venomous snakes, but have a venomous effect that is difficult to suppress. Even if the use of serum is difficult to work, the representative of it is also the krait.

    The krait is made up of white and looks like a ring, while the krait is yellow in color. It looks like a silver krait, but the poison is very different, so there is a folk proverb: touch the gold retriever and touch the silver, and touch the silver to kill.

    Refers to the krait and the krait. First of all, the silver krait ranks first in the poison of poisonous snakes in China, and the golden krait ranks eighth, far behind the silver krait. The poison of the krait snake belongs to the neurotoxin, so it is also known as the euthanasia killer, the wound after being bitten by the krait snake is not painful, not swollen, and there is no reaction to being bitten by the venomous snake at all, but the toxin attack and want to sleep, so it is very sleepy.

    Because the toxin sets in gradually during sleep, this snake venom is often difficult to notice after being bitten, hence the delay**. In addition, the toxin of the krait is excellent, with a lethal dose of about 1 mg to humans.

    The venom of the krait is very different compared to the krait. The krait is a venomous snake that is mainly venomous in the genus Krait, and is also a venomous snake ring, but the poison is very different from that of the silver krait. In addition to the fact that the venomous snake is very different, the krait has a relatively mild temper, and very little is not good.

    When spotted with a krait, the krait usually swims automatically and is relatively less aggressive, but when it feels threatened, it reacts very strongly and will touch the silver on the golden retriever's body.

    Because the krait has a relatively mild temperament, it never takes the initiative to attack humans, and even if it is caught, it will only find a way to escape, but the krait is different, as long as it is alarmed, it will take the initiative to attack, which is very brutal, so it is generally the krait that hurts people. Moreover, the venomous krait is much more poisonous than the krait.

    "Messing with gold doesn't mess with silver, messing with silver kills people".It is a truth summed up by the old people through long-term experience and common sense of life, telling us what to do and what not to do, otherwise, it will inevitably lead to disaster. Such a statement seems reasonable and simple, but it contains the care of the elders and is a very reasonable life guidance.

    The summer solar term with a small heat means that the weather has entered a hot phase. Although it is not yet at its hottest, it is enough to make people feel sick. After the summer heat, there will be an ambush immediately.

    We should pay more attention to ourselves and the management of our crops. On the other hand, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the various snakes in nature are also entering the most active period of the year. During this season, especially at night, it is easy to encounter venomous snakes outdoors, among which the krait and the silver krait, two highly venomous snakes, especially like to appear in cold water at night.

    The old people admonished us, "Provoke gold, not silver, and silver hurt", referring to these two poisonous snakes, not gold and silver treasures.

    The literal meaning of this sentence is simpleThat is, do not provoke the krait at will, or you will be in danger of your life. But krait and krait are also highly venomous snakes. In fact, they should not be provoked.

    But why do the elders also warn us that "it is gold, not silver, that provokes"? In fact, in the countryside, the flora and fauna are abundant, and the natural environment is good, which is suitable for snakes to survive, so there are many snakes in the countryside every summer. The pattern of the krait is black and yellow as compared to the krait, and the pattern of the krait is black and white, which is easy to distinguish.

    However, when it comes to toxicity, gold snakes and silver snakes are very different.

    We know that the krait is one of the deadliest snakes in China. Although the krait is not a large individual, its single detoxification is small, the krait has small fangs, and the venom can paralyze the nerves. After a bite, people often don't see bloodshed.

    They can easily let their guard down. In fact, the venom of the krait has already spread through the human body with the blood, and in a few hours there is almost nothing, and human life is explained. In addition, although the silver snake is timid, it will fight back after being accidentally frightened at the first time.

    This is safer for the krait, as the krait's instinct is to run away in front of humans. In addition, the poison of the gold ring snake is not as great as that of the silver ring snake, and the wound after the bite is obvious, which is easy to attract people's attention.

    The danger to humans is significantly greater than that of the krait, so there is a warning of "messing with gold and not silver, and messing with silver kills people".

    The silver krait is obviously more harmful to people than the krait, so there is a warning that "if you provoke gold, you will not provoke silver, and if you provoke silver, you will kill people".
