Why does the word "min" in Minnan dialect mean insect?

To see Fujian off is to see the dragon at the door, and to see Fujian off at Longteng. Because the worm is a snake, and the worm in the door is a dragon. "There is no reason for this, all by myself, as if there is this question in the civil service exam. In fact, what animal does the worm in the word "min" represent? There should be two statements that are more reliable.

One: this "bug" refers to a snake;

Ancestors in Fujian and Vietnam used snakes as totems. They believe in the snake god, and there are legends about the snake clan, which is the clan that worships snakes. In addition, there are many mountains and snakes in Fujian. It seems that Fujian people still have the custom of offering sacrifices to snakes. Xu Shen of Han Dynasty said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Min is the snake god in southeastern Vietnam." Therefore, even most of our own people think that this "worm" refers to a snake, and the word "people" is a worm at home. In Fujian, snakes were often seen before, so they became the most popular snakes at home.

Two: this "bug" refers to the tiger;

"Bug" refers to the tiger, and the so-called tiger comes out of the cage (door), which seems ok. The word "worm" refers to the tiger, which should be said by Song Wu in "Water Margin". Song Wu saw the tiger "a big worm with a white forehead" in it, so some people think that this "worm" refers to the tiger; There is also the reason for the South China Tiger. Some foreigners once named the South China Tiger Xiamen Tiger, and there is another saying that raccoons are fierce raccoons and cats should be tigers. This is also a new view recently.
