In China, snakes do not have the negative connotations often seen within the western hemisphere. For example, a Chinese legend tells the story of a half-woman, half snake goddess who after a battle of the Gods repaired a heavenly pillar, which had been ruined, saving humanity and to this day is honoured for her act.
