Why Linyi is called Turtle City?

Speaking of Linyi, it is actually very famous. I always hear about this place, but this place is not a modern big city, so it must be a famous historical city. In other words, Linyi is known as the "turtle city", so why is it called this? What's the story behind this? Let's analyze it together! Let's see if this is one story or another!

Linyi turtle back city is just a legend!

It is said that the tortoise is protecting Linyi. Li Siguang predicted that there are four major earthquake spots in China, and Linyi is one of them. The other three places felt the earthquake, but Linyi was safe and sound. It is said that the tortoise is protecting Linyi!

The four earthquakes predicted by Li Siguang in that year were:

Tangshan

Sichuan Province

Xingtai

Linyi

Three quarters.

Tangshan

Sichuan Province

Xingtai

This is an earthquake. ...

Xingtai earthquake:1966 at 5: 29 on March 81966 at 5: 29 on March 8, a strong earthquake of magnitude 6.8 occurred in the east of Longyao County, Xingtai District, Hebei Province, with a focal depth of 10 km and an epicentre intensity of 9 degrees. Following this earthquake, earthquakes of magnitude 6.7 and 7.2 occurred in the southeast of Ningjin County on March 22, an earthquake of magnitude 6.2 occurred in Shulunan, north of the old earthquake zone on March 26, and an earthquake of magnitude 6 occurred in Julubei, east of the old earthquake zone on March 29. During the period of 2 1 day from March 8 to 29, five earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above occurred continuously in Xingtai area, of which the largest one occurred in the southeast of Ningjin County on March 22 16:09. The focal depth of this earthquake is 9 kilometers, and the epicenter intensity is 10 degrees. This earthquake group is collectively called Xingtai earthquake.

Tangshan earthquake:103: 42 on July 28th, 976 M = 7.6, M = 7. On that day 18: 45, Luanxian 1 earthquake occurred. In the same year, an earthquake of magnitude 6.9 occurred in Ninghe 1 15, and the aftershocks after the main earthquake were even worse. Tangshan earthquake has no obvious foreshock, the aftershock lasts for a long time, and the attenuation process fluctuates greatly. After more than 20 years, the aftershock activity has not subsided, and there are still earthquakes of magnitude 4 or so.

Most buildings in Tangshan city were basically razed to the ground or seriously damaged. Strong earthquakes caused traffic disruption, communication paralysis, urban water and power outages, railway tracks twisted into snakes, a large number of cracks appeared on the surface, and caused water spraying, sand falling and collapse. Before the earthquake, it was accompanied by luminescence. More than 242,000 people died and164,000 people were injured. Nearby Tianjin has also been damaged by Ⅶ ~ Ⅶ. The affected areas spread to Chongqing and other 14 provinces and cities, and the radius of the damaged area is about 250 kilometers.

Sichuan Earthquake: 12 At 2: 28 pm on May 28th, a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurred in Sichuan Province, with its epicenter in Wenchuan County, Aba Prefecture. The earthquake caused heavy casualties. At present, more than 30,000 people have died and countless houses have collapsed.

The following is the specific content of this legend.

It is said that a turtle appeared in Tianhe a long time ago. This turtle is very big, with a hill head and lightning eyes.

The electricity walking in the clouds is so powerful that with a wave of his hand, he can knock down a mountain and blink his eyes, and the earth moves with him. One day, it ate a kind of fairy grass called "drunken grass" in Tianhe, and immediately fell into a daze. It ran from Tianhe to the world, wandering around, crashing into hundreds of high-rise buildings, destroying a large area of fertile land, leaving many people homeless and displaced. But the tortoise was very happy. It has never seen such a vast land-because in heaven, huge aquatic animals and wild animals are not allowed to land. It runs on the grassland and looks around from time to time, just like a curious child. However, at this time, Yan's family was devastated. Ghosts are everywhere, and the king of Yan has no choice but to go to heaven When the Jade Emperor learned about it, Yan Long was furious and wanted to kill the turtle, but then he thought, "Why not punish it lightly to show his grace?" Thinking of this, he wrote with a stroke of his hand: "As a spirit beast, you can commit crimes in the underworld, and you can avoid capital crimes and live crimes." He also punished the tortoise for carrying the city in the lower bound and never turning over. In this way, the tortoise was caught, and the "giant spirit god" pressed a city called Linyi on the tortoise, and then hurried back to heaven to reply.

A day has passed, a year has passed, and century after century has passed. The tortoise has been carrying Linyi and dare not move. The long river of history flows to16th century, and finally one day, the weather is hot and dry, and it hasn't rained for many days. The tortoise is also a water beast after all! It also wants to drink water. It couldn't control itself and decided to take a chance. It shook its head tentatively to see that there was no movement, and then took a few steps carefully. When it was sure that it was all right, it became bold. It uses its ability to walk around, running wildly, completely forgetting that there is another city on its back! This can hurt the people of Linyi city. They just felt dizzy, shook their heads and didn't even come and go with a scream. The city was in ruins, and the Yi River burst and swallowed up a large area of fields and villages.

The tortoise ran to the East China Sea and drank all the water in one breath. Happy, it suddenly thought of the person on its back. "Oops" is called "No". It knows it's in trouble. It wanted to see Linyi, so it became a ragged and aging old woman. Outside the city, he saw an old man sitting on a crooked tree, staring blankly at the ruins of his house, as if thinking something. The tortoise asked tentatively, "hey, buddy, I haven't eaten for three days." Can you give me something to eat? " Hearing this, the old man bit his lip, took out a dry, shapeless nest head from his pocket and said, "This is all I have left to eat, and the rest was destroyed by this earthquake. Come on, let's share it! " Say that finish, tear the wowotou in half and give the big one to the tortoise. The tortoise is a little overwhelmed and flattered, because it has lived for thousands of years and now knows what love is. "What a kind Linyi people! But what did I give them? This is freezing and hunger, this is displacement, this is separation, and this is endless disaster. Damn me. " It is very regretful and determined to make amends, and will never do anything wrong to Linyi people again. It swears: "Even if the sky falls, I will live with my head. Even if the ground sinks, I will support it with my legs. Even if the flood comes, I will block it with my body and never let Linyi suffer any harm. " Since then, it has dutifully carried Linyi City. After that, Linyi City was in good weather, with a bumper harvest and peace every year. An authoritative person predicts that there are four major earthquake spots in China, and Linyi is one of them. The other three places felt the earthquake, but Linyi was safe and sound.
