What is the water-suppressing mythical beast?

According to Xinhuanet, this stone beast once attracted the attention and speculation of many netizens on the Internet. This stone beast was unearthed in a pit. Its entire body resembles that of a rhinoceros. It is carved from a single block of red sandstone and stands in a standing shape. When it was excavated, the stone beast was buried sideways in the pit, with its head facing east and tail facing west. Its head is slightly conical, with clear ears, eyes, mandibles and nose engraved on it, and is partially decorated with simple cirrus cloud patterns in a rough style. The stone beast has a plump and rounded trunk with short and thick limbs. It is 3.3 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, 1.7 meters high and weighs about 8.5 tons.

Netizens believe that the mythical beast unearthed in Chengdu is the water-controlling mythical beast when Li Bing built Dujiangyan. . .

Experts PK netizens:

Experts answer questions:

The reporter interviewed Lin Xiang, a history professor at Sichuan University who is over eighty years old, on this matter. Lin Xiang, who has been engaged in archaeological research for a long time, told reporters, "The water-controlling mythical beast has not always been in Tianfu Square. Now it is put in a museum to enshrine it, which is to return it to its place." Lin Xiang said that there is more than one water-controlling mythical beast, and there have been many in history. It was found that "this has nothing to do with weather changes."

Lin Xiang said that based on the analysis of historical records, he personally prefers to agree that the stone beast was a water-control device buried by Li Bing when he was controlling the flood. "But the stone tools buried in the ground are the water of the river. Regardless of the water in the sky, even if it is a spiritual object, it has nothing to do with the current heavy rains and disasters. Please don't worry.
