Chapter 14 Millennium King Eighty Thousand Year Turtle

Dear Xiaowen: There is a saying in China called "a thousand-year king and eighty thousand years tortoise", which means that tortoises live very long, but according to zoologists, tortoises only live for more than a hundred years.More than a thousand years ago, tortoise was not a curse word at all. At that time, it was said "long-lived like the turtle" (long-lived like the turtle) when wishing people a long life.In ancient China, people often burned tortoises to look at the cracks on their backs for fortune-telling. In Chinese characters for "use", the ancient writing is ( ), which means that an iron bar is inserted into the back of a tortoise ( ) to burn. If the pattern is auspicious, it can be "used".

Generally speaking, turtle refers to sea turtles, that is, soft-shelled turtles, also called soft-shelled turtles (there is a kind of turtle called hawksbill: hawksbill is the most famous, also called "tortoise-shell turtle" tortoise-shell turtle), tortoise refers to tortoises, but everyone also Use as you go.Some turtles only live in water, some only live on land, and some "use" both water and land.Although tortoises are cold-blooded animals, they want to live in warm places.When the mother turtle lays her eggs, she doesn't care, she lets the sunlight hatch the eggs, so the little turtle never knows who the parents are.

Dad used to be a platoon leader in Penghu, and slept in a house that was said to be haunted at night. There was a small door behind the room that was always closed, and something was always squeezing the door that night.When the next day dawned, it turned out to be a big turtle.Catching a tortoise, especially a large turtle, is as simple as flipping it on its back and it stays there.So catching a turtle is called a "turn turtle". Anything that turns its bottom upside down is also called a turn turtle. Larger tortoises allow a person to ride on their backs.A turtle's shell is its home—its prefab.

A tortoise is also called a tortoise because it crawls slowly. In Chinese, the tortoise character for "cracking" is pronounced "jun" instead of "return". dad December 30, 1973 Attachment: Mom's letter on November 20th and grandma's letter on December 13th have all been received.
