    In order to satisfy people's cravings for the tip of the tongue, how many animals have been sent to people's tables to become dishes, and many animals have completely left us. But there are only weasels, not only are not many people eat, but the old people in the countryside also respect weasels quite a lot. Seeing the weasel, not only did he not fight or kill, but he also called it Wong Tai Sin.

    Tell the kids that if the weasel didn't steal the chicken, don't mess with them, In folklore, legendary weasel myths are not uncommon and are even considered fairy tales, so why don't you eat weasels? Is it really because weasels are spiritual and cannot be eaten?

    In fact, we have seen many scientific facts that prove that weasel meat cannot be consumed. So what is the reason? Actually, that's not to say that you're afraid of killing it for revenge, but weasels are mostly mice, and only when the weasel can't find the mouse will he eat a chicken raised by a human instead of killing it.

    Due to ecological balance issues, if the weasel is to be killed, it will upset the balance of the biological chain, the agile weasel is easily recognized, its skull is long and narrow, the top is flat, and the entire body is brownish-yellow or orange-yellow.

    In addition, weasels also play an important role in traditional Chinese medicine, which Li Shizhen has already explained. In the book Compendium of Materia Medica, it is mentioned that the meat of weasels is weakly toxic, and in addition, it can also produce highly toxic effects when combined with certain Chinese herbal medicines. Although toxins can currently be effectively avoided by high-temperature treatment, no one wants to go to such trouble with handling weasel meat, and their own taste isn't particularly tasty, so people don't ** weasel meat is seen as a business.

    Experts can actually give an explanation for the legend of the weasel, according to research, there is a neurotoxin in the weasel's stinky fart, which, when inhaled, can cause hallucinations. This could also explain why humans regard weasels as Wong Tai Sin. When people hallucinate, it is really possible to worship the weasel as a god, and when he is awake, this memory may linger, be passed down from generation to generation, and eventually to fascinating people.

    Although the weasel is magical, in the end it is just one of the animals, and there is no such person as Huang Daxian in the world, all of which were imagined by ancient people under various superstitions.

    However, there are those who hunt weasels, skin them, and trade them for their own benefit, and there are even many more who make weasels into dishes and put them on the table. Now that the weasel population has decreased, it will become a protected animal, and the weasel is an animal that is half harmful and half beneficial to the animal and should not be hunted. Even if stealing chickens brings losses and troubles to the people, now people should protect all kinds of animals, maintain ecological balance, and protect the living environment.
