The "big" refers to a rugged stone rhinoceros weighing 8.5 tons.
According to the record of "Huayang National Chronicles", according to legend, when Li Bing controlled the water, he made five stone rhinoceros to hate water. Therefore, some experts believe that this stone rhinoceros may be one of the five stone rhinos built by Li Bing Zhishui.

During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, Chengdu became one of the five major metropolises along with Luoyang, Handan, Linzi and Wan. This is not Xiao Zhi's nonsense, but there are physical objects that can be confirmed.
In 2010, two Han monuments were unearthed in Dongyu Street of Tianfu Square - "Pei Jun Tablet" and "Li Jun Tablet", which recorded the merits of the two Taishou surnamed Pei and Li in the Eastern Han Dynasty respectively.
Among them, Pei Jun's stele is engraved with "Lie Bei Wudu", indicating that Chengdu in the Han Dynasty has been an important political, economic and cultural center in the southwest region.
