The reason why there are large stone monuments with big turtles hunched over in many scenic spots: Baxia itself has the characteristics of being able to bear weight, and the dragon turtle-backed stone monument can symbolize peace, peace, and good weather in the future!
This one looks like a turtle, but it is not a turtle. It is called "Baxia", and it is also a kind of dragon turtle. It has a huge body and natural strength. It often carries three mountains and five mountains on its back, making waves in rivers and lakes. Lakes churn, seas roar, landslides and landslide, floods are natural beasts with supernatural powers. It is also very naughty and likes to move around. As a result, the earth shook, landslides occurred, floods raged, and the people lost their lives.
Ba Xia moved Taishan from Shandong to Shaanxi, Huashan from Shaanxi to Shandong, and Huangshan from Anhui to Jiangsu. In this way, the natural ecological balance is destroyed.
There is such a story. At that time, Dayu was busy controlling floods everywhere. Ba Xia is always moving around, disrupting his entire flood control plan. So he found Baxia and persuaded it to teach it ecological balance and environmental protection. Ba Xia listened in a daze. What term? I haven't heard of it at all. Finally, Dayu said: "Well, it's useless to tell you too much." Follow me! Give you monthly rewards and let you move. ?
Ba Xia was also lazy, so he followed Dayu. Dayu needed to stop the flood, and Baxia would move nearby hills to stop the flood; Dayu needed to dredge the flood, and Baxia would move the mountains to block the road. Baxia became Dayu's water conservancy facility.
With this water control device, Dayu quickly completed the task of water control. However, it cannot sit idle. It wants to continue moving things around. In this way, it had to shake the earth, floods raged, and the sky became dark.
Dayu thought for a while and came up with a good idea. He chose a big mountain himself, carved an inscription on the mountain, and invited Taibai Jinxing to cast a spell. The weight of the mountain suddenly increases to about the same as the weight of the earth.
When everything was ready, Dayu found Baxia and said to him: "This mountain is blocking the road." Please help him move it. Basia, that's just a hill. We removed Mount Tai. Forget about the mountain.
Baxia took a deep breath, sweat dripping down his face. This is the heaviest mountain Ba Xia has ever moved. He didn't know that Dayu had been controlling floods for a long time. He thought he hadn't exercised for a long time and his muscles were flabby! Ba Xia moved the mountain to his back, but when he wanted to remove it, it was already too late. The mountain is too heavy. Even if it is pressed on the back, it cannot be thrown away. Gradually, Ba Xia lost strength, so he had to stay where he was. He can't go anywhere!
Since then, another stone tablet has appeared on Ba Xia’s back. This is the origin of the Old Turtle Back Stone Tablet.
