Does the hotel want turtles?

The tortoise symbolizes good luck and longevity.

According to historical records, even in the relatively open Han and Tang dynasties, the mysterious color of turtles gradually faded, but ordinary people rarely raised turtles. Turtles are auspicious and long-lived, so Jiuding, the symbol of imperial power in Han Dynasty, is decorated with tortoise patterns, and the temple of Emperor Gaozu is also engraved with tortoise rooms. The seals used by senior officials (prime ministers and generals) with an annual salary of more than 2,000 stones in the Han Dynasty are also turtle buttons made of different materials.

Living habits of turtles: In China, turtles often live in rivers, lakes and ponds. Eat worms, snails, shrimp, small fish and other animals, but also eat plant leaves and grains. Mating begins in late April and takes place at night; May-August is the spawning period, and spawning is completed three or four times a year, with 5-7 eggs per hole; Before laying eggs, the female turtle digs a hole in the loose soil on the sunny and shady shore with her hind legs and lays her eggs in the hole. Cover the eggs with loose soil after giving birth. Oval, hard and grayish white, with a diameter of 27 ~ 38 mm×13 ~ 20 mm. After 50 ~ 80 days in natural conditions, young turtles can swim and live independently after hatching. The sex of turtles is controlled by temperature.
