The origin of the name, the snake dish rabbit, will be rich ",a proverb widely circulated in parts of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu, seems to be not limited to blessing the marriage of men and women, and its auspicious significance in folklore is extensive. The paper-cut pattern of "snake rabbit" is often used in funeral customs in Luliang area of Shanxi Province. As for decorating the new house with the pattern of "snake rabbit" in wedding etiquette, it is naturally not limited to the marriage of men and women who belong to the snake rabbit. Similar proverbs, such as "happy pearls, pomegranates, snakes, rabbits, wealth must be rich" and "snakes avoid family wealth", do not seem to be limited to the scope of marriage. In the past, when talking about marriage, people paid attention to the theory that the animals of the zodiac were born together. There are taboos that are not suitable for each other, and there are also the best groups. For example, "green rabbits and yellow dogs have existed since ancient times, and their wealth is full of Beidou", "red snakes and white monkeys are full of red, and their longevity is full of Kangding" and so on. The question is why there are no paper-cut patterns such as "dog around rabbit" and "snake-dish monkey", but why do you love "snake-dish rabbit"? One view is that in primitive society, it is said that the tribe symbolized by snakes and the tribe symbolized by rabbits clashed and killed each other. Fortunately, the two wise chiefs took pity on the living beings, achieved peace through negotiations, and merged into one tribe, prospering and becoming strong. Since then, "snake and rabbit in one" has become a much-told story, and there is still a proverb that "snake food is free, it must be rich" as a symbol of happiness for men to marry women. (See the special issue of "The Famous Paper-cutting of Fushan Mountain in Sanjin" compiled by Shanxi Art Museum,1May 23, 986). It seems natural to introduce "snake plate immunity" into totem theory. In ancient times, people who used snakes as totems were often described to avoid becoming totems. China hasn't found it yet.
