Let's not talk about how magnificent Tao Shu's tomb is. We only talk about the double stone turtle carrying the tablet in the Imperial Monument Pavilion. It is said that at that time, the court summoned dozens of famous craftsmen from all over the country and brought hundreds of tons of stones from Guangdong. In just two years, the stone tablet and turtle were carved and ready to be loaded. At this time, the problem came. Under the conditions at that time, it was a very difficult problem to safely put a monument with a thickness of 40 cm, a width of nearly 150 cm, a height of 3 meters and a weight of about 200 tons on the turtle's back without damaging two stone turtles. At this time, the construction period of the imperial court was tight, which really worried the cemetery builders. So he reported to the court and accepted the good idea in the ruling and opposition. For a time, numerous strategies were spread in the ruling and opposition, but they were all rejected by the cemetery builders, because according to their methods, the integrity of the stone tablets and turtles could not be completely guaranteed. Seeing that time passed day by day, the stone tablet was still lying in the shed, unable to stand on the turtle's back. People around you see it in their eyes and are anxious in their hearts. They burn incense at home and pray for a solution. Strange to say, in June this year, it was obviously a hot day, but it rained for a few days, and the temperature here was surprisingly cool. In Tao Shu's graveyard, a large number of birds gather together and sing noisily every day. People around you are even more surprised and gather in the cemetery to watch every day. At this time, a wise man found that among the birds, there was a slightly larger black bird, like the leader of the birds, who led the birds to fly every day. He said to the people around him, "This must be an epiphany of the gods in heaven. Send birds to show us the way, but unfortunately we don't know bird language. What a pity! " Everyone started talking about it. At this moment, a man said, "Everybody be quiet. Listen to me. I heard that there is an able man named Gong Yechang on Jiulongchi Mountain. He can understand birds and talk to them. Let's go find him. " Immediately, a dozen young people were invited to hit the road.
Gongyechang, a strange man in Anhua, lives in Jiulongchi Mountain all the year round and collects Chinese herbal medicines for a living. It is said that in his spare time, he often listens carefully to the birds. Over time, he gradually understood the languages of various birds and was able to talk with them. A dozen young people managed to find a grandfather in the mountains. When he heard this strange phenomenon, he was puzzled and decided to try it in the cemetery. When they came to the cemetery, the phenomenon was still the same, the sunshine and drizzle crossed, and birds were playing everywhere in the garden, which was a lively scene. Gongye Chang stopped traveling and went to the graveyard among the birds alone. The birds heard his cry, but they didn't fly away, but gradually gathered around. Gongye Chang sat cross-legged and talked and laughed with the birds, completely ignoring the craftsmen and villagers outside the garden. After about two shifts, Grandpa often bowed to the birds, turned around and walked out, and then the birds twittered away. Grandpa often comes out and smiles and says to the villagers, "Ladies and gentlemen, I just talked to the birds. They said that they were ordered by the Jade Emperor to help the villagers build a monument for Tao Shu's Taibao. Tao Shu, a civil and military star in the sky, has descended to earth. Now, although he has lived all his life, he has become a fairy. It is also an act of god to set up a turtle to carry a monument for him. In fact, it is a stone turtle and a monument. As for the specific operation, Touniao said that craftsmen can think of it as long as they hear this principle. " Then he hurried back to the mountain to collect herbs.
After the craftsmen learned this principle, they immediately had a collective discussion. Finally, they decided to protect the two stone turtles first, and then buried them with soil. After squeezing and tamping, the soil layer can bear hundreds of tons of rolling. Then transport the stone tablet to the installation port and erect it while digging. In this way, in the process of loading, the tortoise can't see the monument, and the monument can't see the tortoise. With the help of the villagers, the craftsmen successfully installed the stone tablet in the installation mouth of the stone turtle. After the huge monument was fixed, craftsmen carefully dug up the buried soil layer on the turtle's back, and Tao Shu's stone turtle carrying monument stood erect.
Tao Shu's stone tablet has been carried by stone turtles for nearly 200 years, but it still stands tall. Silently, the deeds of this Anwar giant will be passed down to future generations. At the same time, the folk story about this stone turtle back tablet has been passed down from generation to generation among the villagers.
