What is the moral of "three turtles" overlapping? There is a place where the sculpture is like this.

Three turtles overlap to symbolize longevity.

Originated from Longhu Mountain-Guifeng in Jiangxi.

Triassic turtle peak, 77 meters above sea level. There are three stones on the peak, one on top of the other, shaped like a turtle, with a head and feet, crouching on three feet. Three turtles looked up at the sky with their heads held high. In the thirty-third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1605), the word "Turtle Peak" inscribed by Chen Dazhu, the envoy of Jiangxi Province, was carved on the stone wall of Toad Peak, each word was 2.5 square feet long and 1.5 square feet wide, with vigorous seal script and vigorous pen style. Chen once praised this mountain for writing poems.

The top one is probably cute because it looks fat and strong without any load, so it is named "Fat Turtle". The tortoise in the central part of the country, dressed in green clothes woven by nature, is particularly beautiful and charming among the three turtles, and has a distinctive elegant temperament, so it is named "Green Turtle". The bottom turtle is called "Hercules turtle". If this tortoise is endowed with divine power, how can it bear two turtles with good weight? The whole golden bell turtle looks like a huge golden bell, hanging upside down on the land of turtle peak, which is quite aura. At the top of Admiralty Turtle, the smallest turtle ever lived in Guifeng. There is also a rock block shaped like an eggshell behind the little turtle, which shows that this turtle is a newborn baby.
