Nonsense: Serpent and Beauty

Serpent is cursed.

      The greatest sin it's ever sinned is that it walks like a penis. And the second felon it's committed is the temptation of an innocent girl already married to a man. The girl is also cursed, along with her husband, because they made love under an apple tree grown by God the Lord in a garden where open sex is strictly verboten. However, as we always stereotype, a coin has but two sides. The shiny side of this sex affair is the first enlightenment in Christianity. After the intercourse of soul and flesh ever first recorded in the history, we began to look advanced, elevated, civilized and salvationed. Henceforth we are distinctive, superior, and can tell good from evil. Billions of thanks to Eva's virgin sacrifice as well as that evil devil's crimes.

      In China a serpent is not a symbol of sin. Nor does it have much to do with sex. A serpent is usually a beauty, with a charm that allures and powerful witchcraft to handle men. Once you read the story of A Man, A Monk and Two Serpents, you will immediately come to know how Chinese favor a reptile like serpent, or snake, which has gifted us plenty of imagination and creative motives. By nominating one of the twelve zodiac years Serpent, we honor the reptile with respectful attitudes. Serpent also has a nickname, given by us Chinese, Little Long or Little Dragon. Since you have noticed how important a role Long plays in our culture, you probably will take a new look at how we ponder the serpent issues.

      And things do not stop right here. Let me continue with something you perhaps have no idea of before. One of our ancestors, in our mysterious legends and mythical traditions, is a man by the name of Fuxi, with the tail of a serpent instead of the two legs as we have. I've coined a name for this man with a snake tail, Serpentaur, in the honor of the bull-headed monster in Greek mythology. Mr. Serpentaur invented the Eight Trigrams, something that Confucius had elaborated a book of annotations about, and that has exhausted the brains and minds of generations of Chinese who wanted to figure out what the Trigrams means on earth. Nowadays there are still many who write books to try to interpret what the Trigrams may tell us, but no one seems to have succeeded ever.

      If a Chinese woman has a water snake's waist, she then deserves your another look. I know many people have a stronger inclination to the appreciation of women's buttocks. You may add, What a nice ass she has! But this is not a Chinese way of compliments. Our attention is more fixed upon women's waists. One of the Kings in ancient China adored women with water snake like waists. Hence many of his wives starved to death in order to have their waists water-snaked to win the King's personal visit at night. Another evidence of the deadly aesthetics in Chinese history.

      Actually a water snake's waist is good. There in the world is an increasing population more obese than before, which not only poses a danger to the textile industry, but causes a more crowded heaven as well. For heaven's sake, men, and women, keep fit!
