In legends, Baxia often carried the three mountains and five rivers to stir up trouble in ancient times, but was subdued by Xia Yu and made great contributions to the control of floods. After the success of flood control, Yu the Great engraved his achievements on a stele and let Baxia carry it himself, so most Chinese steles are carried by Baxia. It also symbolizes longevity and good luck, and has the connotations of status level, totem worship, etc. Touching it can bring people good luck, so it can be seen everywhere in temples and ancestral halls as a hardworking and任怨的大力士.
In addition, the name "Baxia" has been given a certain cultural significance. The word "Ba" represents domineering and strength, while the word "Xia" implies humility and being willing to learn from others. This combination reflects the Chinese nation's spirit of carrying forward morality and self-improvement, and is the crystallization of thousands of years of Chinese civilization.
