Snakes are very dangerous creatures, and everyone is very scared when they mention snakes. After all, poisonous snakes bite people, and there are many cases of lost lives due to untimely rescue. So few people appear in places where snakes congregate, such as in forests, or next to wild rivers. But in one place, there is a temple infested with poisonous snakes, and these snakes do not bite tourists, what is the reason for this?
Qingshui Temple
14 km south of Penang, Malaysia, there is a strange temple called Qingshui Temple, which is also called Qinglong Temple. It was built to enshrine Qingshui's ancestor, Chen Zhaoying, the anti-Yuan hero of the late Song Dynasty, and it is said that this temple was originally built in Anxi County, Fujian Province, but relocated to Malaysia for some reasons. It is reported that it has a history of more than 100 years. The overall architecture of the temple is relatively magnificent, the main color of the brick wall of the house is mainly orange, the tiles of the temple are green with vitality, and the eaves have a delicate coiled dragon pattern. The courtyard of the whole temple is relatively wide, and a huge incense burner is placed in the center of the temple for tourists from the south to the north to worship. There are several green plants in the temple, which also add some life to the antique temple.
The sights of this temple, compared to other famous temples, do not have much advantage. But in the temple, there is a magical situation, that is, there are many snakes gathered here, and they are still poisonous snakes. In the face of a large number of snakes gathering, many tourists come to visit, and strange phenomena have appeared in the temple, and fewer and fewer tourists come here to sincerely worship, almost all of them are to see the magical scene of snakes all over the temple. Some tourists will also pick up their mobile phones and take photos with snakes, and even bold tourists will feed the snakes by hand. Good end of the temple, why there are suddenly so many snakes, some locals have given an explanation.
It is said that when the Qingshui Temple was originally selected, it chose to build a temple here. But the people who chose the place may not have noticed that there is a large number of snakes living around here. Hence the phenomenon of human-snake coexistence. When the snakes came here, they found that the environment of the temple was much better than the environment in which they originally lived, and almost no one dared to harm them, and the safe environment also attracted a large number of snakes, slowly gathering here. Another reason is that there is a lot of food in the temple, and every day the temple staff, when cooking on the fire, and when tourists visit the offering of fruits, there are many foods that attract snakes. This time the snakes are faced with so much food in their hands, they don't have to go out to find food as hard as before. The natural habitat and abundant food allow the surrounding snakes to live here, showing no sign of leaving.
In the face of a large number of snakes, in order to avoid the occurrence of poisonous snake bites, causing casualties to tourists. The temple staff also began to organize everyone to drive away the snakes together, but the final effect was not ideal. These snakes are very bold, and they are not afraid of people, and they come and go, and they come and go. After such a repetition, the temple personnel gradually gave up the expulsion, and there was no incident of poisonous snake bites in the temple, and the temple personnel acquiesced to this phenomenon. Because of the convergence of snakes, it has also increased a lot of tourism revenue to the Qingshui Temple.
Many people are curious about why these poisonous snakes do not bite and hurt tourists, which is actually related to the following reasons. Due to the large number of tourists coming and going in the temple, the incense of the temple is very exuberant. A large amount of incense burns continuously in the temple, and the smoke generated also affects the snakes that have lived here for a long time. When snakes breathe these incense, their nervous systems are destroyed, so their movements become unusually slow and demented. Without agile reflexes and mobility, the likelihood of poisonous snakes hurting people is further reduced.
Another reason is the safe environment, the snake's previous living environment is more complicated, very few people touch. In the face of dangerous snakes, they will maintain a high degree of vigilance, and even fight for life and death for self-preservation. However, in the environment of the temple, the snake has become accustomed to the appearance of people. Coupled with the fact that tourists have not harmed snakes, and some even give them food, this has gradually formed, people raise snakes like pets, and snakes have the habit of feeding, thus forming a picture of people and snakes living in harmony. However, after the mainlanders saw it, they expressed their fear, which may be the reason why they are naturally afraid of snakes.
