Is the tortoise full of treasure?

The tortoise is full of treasures. A turtle weighing 1 16 kg can get 32 kg of meat, 3 kg of bones,1/0.35 kg of tortoise plastron, 1. 15 kg of liver, 3.5 kg of blood, and a considerable amount of internal organs and blood.

Turtle oil and turtle blood can treat asthma and tracheitis. Boiling porridge with turtle eggs can cure dysentery in children. Turtle bile can inhibit sarcoma. The scales on the back of tortoiseshell are precious Chinese medicinal materials, and their "detoxification and heat-clearing functions are the same as those of rhinoceros horn". Because of its beautiful luster and patterns, it can also be made into sophisticated handicrafts. As a result, a large number of turtles were arrested. Millions of turtles are killed and hundreds of thousands of turtles are killed every year in the world. In order to make money, some people even cruelly peel off the turtle shell alive, and then put it back into the sea, thinking that its shell can be regenerated and can be captured and peeled many times, so that a large number of turtle shells die at the bottom of the sea.

The ancestors of small turtles appeared in the world as early as Triassic in geological history.

Due to the sharp decline in the number of turtles, many countries and regions have taken some protective measures to protect turtle resources, such as prohibiting digging turtle eggs, protecting young turtles, setting up protected areas, prohibiting catching spawning turtles, artificially incubating, feeding and releasing young turtles, etc. For example, since 1986, China has established a turtle nature reserve in the port of Huidong County in the South China Sea. In a few years, it protected 4 18 turtles ashore, laid 268 nests, hatched young turtles and released more than 24,000 turtles into the sea.

The ancestors of turtles appeared in the world as early as Triassic in geological history, and in Mesozoic, like other reptiles, they experienced its heyday. Since then, due to climate change, the earth has gone through many vicissitudes, and the new mammals have fierce competition for survival. Many dinosaurs and other reptiles that once spread all over the world have become extinct. Although turtles have also entered a recession, they have not become extinct. But under the protection of the crustacean, it has survived countless bad luck brought by nature, spent countless times of life and death, trudged through the long history of 200 million years, and stubbornly developed to the present. This is even more precious.

Legend has it that "the tortoise writes the bird trace" is the origin of writing, and the tortoise shell and animal bones record the oldest writing in China, namely Oracle Bone Inscriptions, so the tortoise has contributed to the development of our national culture. The ancient people of China loved turtles very much, and once listed them as one of the Four Spirits together with the dragon, phoenix and unicorn, as a symbol of good luck and longevity, wishing people "a long life for turtles and cranes". The Zhou Dynasty set up an official position called "Turtle Man", whose duty was to "manage the big turtle". If there is a sacrifice, the tortoise is a sacrifice. The official seals of prime ministers in the Han dynasty were all turtle-shaped made of gold. In the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian used turtle bags as clothing to distinguish official ranks. A kind of currency in the Han Dynasty, that is, tortoise coin, is engraved with the pattern of tortoise shell. All these reflect that turtles are closely related to people's lives.

There are many stories about turtles in modern times. It is reported that the Philippine passenger ship "Aloha" caught fire and sank. A 52-year-old woman floated in the sea after falling into the water 12 hours, exhausted. Later, two turtles came and carried her out of the water with their backs. She grabbed the turtle's shell and floated at sea for 48 hours, and was rescued by a passing ship. Only then did the turtle swim away. Japanese photographers found a turtle cemetery in a 25-meter-deep submarine cave in eastern Malaysia, which contained more than 30 large turtle bones. It is speculated that turtles will find their own graves and die peacefully like land elephants in their twilight years.
