Why is there a turtle under the stone tablet of some scenic spots?

In ancient times, there was often a turtle carrying a tablet under a tablet. Some people call it turtle, others call it turtle.

Since primitive society, China's ancestors have worshipped turtles. At the earliest, it became the object of primitive reproductive worship because the turtle head was like a male root. With the development of culture, the connotation of turtle worship is constantly enriched. There are many records in ancient myths. For example, the Yellow Emperor is a descendant of a tortoise, Nu Wa propped up the sky with the tortoise's feet, and Dayu got the tortoise's help to control the water. Among the four spirits of "forest, phoenix, turtle and dragon", turtle is the only one that is not artificial.

The ancients thought that the turtle's back was "like the sky" and its abdominal armor was "flat and flat". Tortoise shell pattern is a symbol of the 24 solar terms in the stars or five lines of gossip, and tortoise is the earliest almanac. Coupled with longevity and other reasons, the turtle can actually "know heaven better than ancient times", "the prophet is interested and sees good and evil" and become an emissary to convey God's will.
