Baxia, also known as Bixi, looks like a turtle and is the sixth child. He was fond of carrying heavy loads throughout his life and had great strength. The turtle crotch under the stele is his portrait. Legend has it that in ancient times Baxia often carried three mountains and five mountains on his back, making waves in rivers, lakes and seas. Later, Dayu conquered it when he was controlling floods. It obeyed Yu's command, pushed mountains and dug ditches, and dredged rivers, making contributions to flood control. After the flood was controlled, Dayu was worried that Ba Xia would go wild again, so he moved a very large stone tablet standing high in the sky, on which was engraved the traces of Ba Xia's flood control, and asked Ba Xia to carry it on his back. The heavy stone tablet made it unable to walk casually.

Baxia and turtles are very similar, but there are differences when you look closely. Baxia has a row of teeth, but turtles do not. There are also differences in the number and shape of the carapace between Baxia and turtles. . Baxia, also known as stone turtle, is a symbol of longevity and good luck. It always held its head forward with difficulty, holding on to its four feet desperately, struggling to move forward, but it could never move away. The bases of some of my country's most prominent stone monuments are carried by Ba Xia, which can be seen in the Forest of Steles and some historical sites.
