Introduction to the imperial stele: Inside the pavilion stands a stone stele titled "Inscription on the Reconstruction of Nanyue Temple" written by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty in the 47th year of Kangxi's reign (1708). The stele is 6.6 meters high and weighs about 4,000 kilograms. The inscription reads "Nanyue Temple." It is a giant town in the south of the sky, and it should be on the Beidou Yuheng. It is also called Shouyue. The main spirit is long in the position of wealth, and the blessings are in the descendants. It is recorded in the Star Scripture. Its origin has not been known yet." There are 279 words, not only after Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he ordered Nanyue again. More importantly, Emperor Kangxi designated Nanyue Hengshan as the "Mountain of Longevity" for hundreds of millions of subjects in the imperial stele, which became the most authoritative evidence of "Shoubi Nanshan·Nanyue Hengshan". There is a relief sculpture of two dragons holding the sun on the top of the stele, and the base of the stele is a thousand-year-old bluestone turtle weighing 20 tons. There are several theories about the origin of this bluestone turtle: one is that it is the eldest son of the nine sons of Longsheng, named Bixi, also known as Baxia. It is good at literature but not martial arts, and is good at carrying heavy loads. It is said that if a tablet is placed on his back, it will survive the vicissitudes of life and will last forever for future generations. Therefore, it has been used to carry imperial stele in all dynasties. Secondly, it is said that this bluestone turtle is called the Millennium Longevity and Auspicious Turtle, which is very spiritual. People often say: "If you touch the turtle's head, you will have no worries in your life; if you touch the turtle's back, you will be rich and noble; if you touch the turtle's mouth, the couple will not quarrel; if you touch it from beginning to end, you will have no regrets."
