Once upon a time, Qinchuan in Guanzhong was a vast country, and Xi 'an was lost in the vast sea. Sea water is not collected by rivers, but gushes from springs in the bell tower now. There is a giant turtle tens of feet long in the sea. When it moves, there will be huge waves jumping over the mountains and seas. Banpo's ancestors lived by mountains and rivers, and their homes were flooded repeatedly. In order to ensure the safety of one party, there will be no more floods in his residence. Ancestors invited craftsmen to build a bell tower to cover the spring where seawater gushed out, and specially asked the gods to lock the giant turtle with chains to make it sleep in the spring, and use its huge body as a water plug to stop the seawater from rushing out, so that the underwater plain in Guanzhong gradually emerged.
If you don't believe me, listen carefully to the ground near the clock tower or the wall of the clock tower every night, and you will certainly hear the sound of surging sea water and the sound of turtles sleeping. How many years have passed, and I can still hear clearly. The underground waterway of that spring cave leads all the way to Bohai Bay. It turned out that the Guanzhong Zeguo was formed by seawater, and the giant turtle climbed into Guanzhong from the sea through waterways.
Legend 2
It is said that an earthquake occurred in Guanzhong area shortly after the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne. According to folklore, there is an underground river under the city and a dragon in it. The dragon is turning over and Chang 'an is shaking. Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid and uneasy, so he tried to hold it down. The Taoist magician gave him an idea to build a bell tower in the center of Xi. The bell is the voice of heaven and earth, which can hold the dragon. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang specially built a bell tower, which is the largest bell tower in China, and called "the first bell in the world" Jingyun Bell.
