It is said that the old turtle carrying the stele can ward off evil spirits and prevent floods. His meaning is very good. People think that he can protect a land.
The Old Turtle Carrying Stone Monument only looks like an Old Turtle, but the Old Turtle is actually a kind of beast. If you look carefully, it is not exactly the same as a turtle. There are some legends about this mythical beast. But it's just a legend. It's good for individuals to understand it. One of the sons of the dragon is called 'Bixi'. He is the most powerful son and always has a lot of energy. According to legend, 'Bixi' also helped Dayu control floods. Dayu looked at 'Bixi' Because he was too strong and wanted to commend Bi Xi's achievements, he put a big stone tablet on Bi Xi's back for Bi Xi to carry.
The stone stele is very heavy, and the movement of 'Bixi' is limited. After a long time, it can no longer move. This inspires people that 'Bixi' is extremely powerful as long as 'Bixi' carries the stone stele. The stone monument will never fall, and its name will last forever.
People later placed turtle stelae (stones with scriptures or historical achievements) in certain places in temples or other buildings. This means that the world will never fall, generations will inherit this way, and through its historical legacy, the turtle statue still graces the landscape of many ancient buildings.
There is also a saying that 'Bixi' likes to move mountains and mountains around, which causes extreme changes in the natural environment and floods. After Dayu found out, he asked 'Bixi' to help move mountains and control floods. , after the success, Dayu was afraid that "Bi Xi" would still mess around, so he found a hill and carved scriptures on it. He also asked Taibai Jinxing to cast a spell to make the hill heavy, and finally asked "Bi Xi" to move the mountain. 'Bi Xi' didn't move and just stayed there. It is precisely because of this characteristic of "Bi Xi" that many projects will now have a "Bi Xi" stone sculpture erected after completion.
