Why do you want to hit the snake "seven inches"

You have to hit the nail on the head when you hit the snake. As the saying goes, if you hit a snake, you will hit seven inches. However, some people say that it takes three inches to hit a snake. Although the statements are not quite the same, there is one thing in common here, that is, the place where snakes are deadly.

"Hit the snake seven inches" and "hit the snake three inches" both mean to hit the nail on the head. The snake's three inches is the most fragile and easily broken place on its spine. After the snake's spine was interrupted, the channel connecting the nerve center with other parts of the body was destroyed. A snake's seven inches is its heart. If it is fatally injured, it will die.
