There is a Chinese saying: the millennium king is eighty thousand years old turtle. Although this is a relatively exaggerated statement, it is an indisputable fact that Wang Ba and the turtle live long.
In traditional Chinese architecture, the scene of turtles riding pillars is also common, which means auspicious and auspicious. It is said that some people also built houses from live turtle cushion pillars, which is breathtaking.
In 2013, in Tongcheng, Hubei Province, ancient construction workers inadvertently dug up an ancient tomb, and then, in a silence, a turtle the size of a trolley tire crawled out slowly.
The workers have not dug up the turtle before construction, but they have never seen such a huge turtle, and then linked to the fact that it crawled out of the ancient tomb, could it be that this is a real thousand-year-old turtle?
Just as the workers were discussing in full swing, a young man suddenly rushed to the turtle, picked up the turtle and ran away, which was a big surprise!
Watching the guy slip away with a cigarette, the workers reacted to this, this is a masterless turtle, according to the rules of the jianghu, the ownerless thing, the person who has a fate gets it, the guy This is the ownerless thing, into the bag!
Why did he stand so stupidly and watch others get ahead? The workers beat their chests in anger and were not depressed.
Soon after, the local cultural relics department came to hear the wind and saw that the tomb was seriously damaged, and immediately carried out rescue excavations of the tomb.
After research, this is a noble tomb at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but unfortunately the ancient tomb has long been patronized by tomb thieves, and valuable things have been swept away, leaving only some broken pottery and bronze fragments. Since no epitaph or other inscriptions that can prove the identity of the tomb owner have been found, the identity of the tomb owner has also become an unsolved mystery.
With the deepening of excavation, experts have found three tombs of the same period near the ancient tombs, and it is regrettable that these ancient tombs were also stolen and the thieves were the first to climb, leaving no valuable cultural relics.
When the workers learned that this was an ancient tomb more than a thousand years ago, they were worried that the turtle that climbed out of the ancient tomb was also a cultural relic, so they rushed to inform the experts about the turtle climbing out of the ancient tomb.
Experts learned that it should be a turtle that used the tomb as a nest after mistakenly entering the tomb, but out of caution, they found the turtle that was taken away.
Unfortunately, after careful study, experts found that the turtle was nothing special except that it was larger than the ordinary turtle, although this turtle lived a long time, but it was still early than the millennium turtle.
This also verifies that the turtle is not the same age as the tomb, experts concluded that the turtle climbed into the tomb through those collapsed holes, and the turtle most likely climbed out when the tomb was used as a nest, and was awakened by the workers.
Of course, this turtle does not have a thousand years, does not mean that we have not found a thousand years of turtles. Earlier, someone in Santai County, Sichuan Province, adopted an old turtle, which has been identified by biological experts and archaeologists in Sichuan Province for more than 1,000 years. Coincidentally, an old turtle was also found in Junping Township, Pupu County, Hunan Province, which was identified by experts as having a high life expectancy of 1200 years.
