Why is Linyi called "Turtle Back City"?

The reason why Linyi is called turtle city is mainly related to a legend. Legend has it that it was a long time ago that a turtle made a very big mistake, so it was caught by the giant spirit god and dragged to the land of Linyi today. Since then, this turtle has been carrying Linyi City and never dared to move. This is why Linyi is called the turtle-carrying city.

There is another amazing phenomenon in Linyi. That is, Linyi, Tangshan, Sichuan and Xingtai are known as the four major earthquake test areas in China, but so far only Linyi has not experienced an earthquake. This mysterious phenomenon can be said to have cast a mysterious veil on the city of Linyi, and the reason for this phenomenon is that the tortoise carrying Linyi does not dare to make any movements.

Legend has it that when the giant spirit god carried the turtle to Linyi, at first, the turtle was obedient, but after a long time, the turtle could no longer sit still. One day it was very hot and there was no rain for many days. The weather was so hot that the tortoise couldn't help it. He decided to take risks and go out for a walk, but what he didn't expect was that the Linyi people on his back also suffered. The village was completely destroyed and no longer exists. After that, the tortoise never dared to move again.

In fact, not only in legend, but also in real life, the terrain of Linyi is very similar to the tortoise image in our ancient legend. Of course, in addition to these two reasons, on the other hand, Turtle Back City is also a very auspicious implication. After all, turtles have been a symbol of longevity in China since ancient times. Therefore, the saying that the turtle carries the city also has a good expectation.
