24蛇年話蛇

蛇年說(shuō)蛇話圖騰

宋人陸游在《人日雪》一詩(shī)中說(shuō)：非賢那畏蛇年至，多難卻愁人日陰。

2025年，是中國(guó)農(nóng)歷蛇年。蛇在中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化中有著特殊的地位?，F(xiàn)代的人們常把蛇

稱之為“小龍”，以示尊崇。在民俗中也有“三月三”，是真龍和小龍出洞，“抬頭”的日子。其

實(shí)，這些都是人們?cè)诹鱾髦两竦拿褡逦幕?，想象而產(chǎn)生的圖騰崇拜。蛇被認(rèn)為是神秘、智

慧、精明、富有、善良的代表。

在中國(guó)民間傳說(shuō)中，蛇有時(shí)被當(dāng)做是陰邪物，蛇年易發(fā)生不好的事情。但是，蛇年好與

不好，取決于人們對(duì)世界和事物的認(rèn)知和態(tài)度。在人們的認(rèn)知中，一般的都會(huì)認(rèn)為，蛇狠毒，

因此派生出“農(nóng)夫和蛇”的故事。有人認(rèn)為，蛇陰險(xiǎn)、冷漠，也派生出“美女蛇”“蛇蝎心腸”等

等稱謂和形象來(lái)。也有人說(shuō)，蛇十分莫測(cè)，顯得很神秘。還有人認(rèn)為蛇象征著狡猾。

但蛇也有著許多褒義的象征。1.象征著幸運(yùn)和吉祥、神圣。古時(shí)候，人們認(rèn)為蛇是君主

的保護(hù)神。古時(shí)也有國(guó)家在節(jié)杖上雕刻著蛇的象形，代表著使節(jié)權(quán)力，蛇成為一個(gè)國(guó)家和權(quán)

威的象征。2.象征著追求愛情和幸福。最為有著代表性的是民間傳統(tǒng)故事《白蛇傳》，是中

國(guó)四大民間愛情傳說(shuō)之一。描述的是一個(gè)修煉成人形的蛇精與人的曲折愛情故事，表達(dá)了人

們對(duì)男女自由戀愛的贊美向往和對(duì)封建勢(shì)力無(wú)理束縛的憎恨。3.象征著長(zhǎng)壽和財(cái)富。在中華

民族文化中，蛇和龜都是長(zhǎng)壽的象征。經(jīng)過(guò)瑜伽、氣功等習(xí)練后，人們可以延年益壽。

因此說(shuō)，不管蛇年的運(yùn)勢(shì)與否，都取決于人們永遠(yuǎn)保持一顆樂觀向上的心態(tài)，要好好珍

惜當(dāng)下，勇敢的面對(duì)一切，迎接新時(shí)代的未來(lái)。
