What is pressing under the Three Pagodas in Dali?

River monster python. (superstitions and legends)

There is a story among the villagers that there is a python hidden in Erhai Lake. When this python is angry and unhappy, it makes waves to turn the tide and cause so many floods. The villagers couldn't live any longer. The story of the python reached the king's ears, and the king immediately called all these officials together.

Post a list of attracting talents, and a stonemason saw this list at this time. That won't do. I wanted to kill the people, so he took two sharp swords and tied 36 steel knives to Erhai Lake. This python is too powerful. The lion's head, the dragon's body and two green eyes are cold.

Get into the python's mouth while the python opens its mouth. Into the belly, fly a knife and cut a sword, and finally cut the python to death. But he also suffocated in the stomach of a python. After everything was calm, the local villagers buried him at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in memory of this righteous man. Python was salvaged from burnt brick, and a memorial tower-Snake Bone Tower was built for Duan Chicheng.

Scientific explanation of flood control and disaster relief after the completion of the Three Pagodas in Dali;

The goldfinch was placed and the tower was built, and the flood gradually subsided. In fact, this is a natural phenomenon, and the water level in Erhai Lake is actually slowly decreasing.

However, people think of Chihiro Pagoda, the magic of the golden-winged bird and its skills. When the Three Pagodas in Dali were rebuilt and restored, a square was built and a golden-winged bird was erected in the most important and conspicuous position.
