蛇年话蛇（原卷版）-2025中考时文阅读专项训练

24蛇年话蛇

蛇年说蛇话图腾

宋人陆游在《人日雪》一诗中说：非贤那畏蛇年至，多难却愁人日阴。

2025年，是中国农历蛇年。蛇在中国传统文化中有着特殊的地位。现代的人们常把蛇

称之为“小龙”，以示尊崇。在民俗中也有“三月三”，是真龙和小龙出洞，“抬头”的日子。其

实，这些都是人们在流传至今的民族文化中，想象而产生的图腾崇拜。蛇被认为是神秘、智

慧、精明、富有、善良的代表。

在中国民间传说中，蛇有时被当做是阴邪物，蛇年易发生不好的事情。但是，蛇年好与

不好，取决于人们对世界和事物的认知和态度。在人们的认知中，一般的都会认为，蛇狠毒，

因此派生出“农夫和蛇”的故事。有人认为，蛇阴险、冷漠，也派生出“美女蛇”“蛇蝎心肠”等

等称谓和形象来。也有人说，蛇十分莫测，显得很神秘。还有人认为蛇象征着狡猾。

但蛇也有着许多褒义的象征。1.象征着幸运和吉祥、神圣。古时候，人们认为蛇是君主

的保护神。古时也有国家在节杖上雕刻着蛇的象形，代表着使节权力，蛇成为一个国家和权

威的象征。2.象征着追求爱情和幸福。最为有着代表性的是民间传统故事《白蛇传》，是中

国四大民间爱情传说之一。描述的是一个修炼成人形的蛇精与人的曲折爱情故事，表达了人

们对男女自由恋爱的赞美向往和对封建势力无理束缚的憎恨。3.象征着长寿和财富。在中华

民族文化中，蛇和龟都是长寿的象征。经过瑜伽、气功等习练后，人们可以延年益寿。

因此说，不管蛇年的运势与否，都取决于人们永远保持一颗乐观向上的心态，要好好珍

惜当下，勇敢的面对一切，迎接新时代的未来。
