Turtles are an integral part of the relationship between heaven and earth, father and mother. With its large shape, the turtle gives a feeling of solidity, with longevity, the turtle is a symbol of eternity and immutability.
Crane is an animal that symbolizes purity, nobility, divinity and escapism, so it is also called Tien Hac.
The turtle wearing cranes is a decorative detail in many communal houses and pagodas, representing the harmony between heaven and earth, between the two extremes of yin and yang, symbolizing the desire for nobility and longevity.
A pair of cranes standing on the turtle's back when placed on the altar also serves as a "feng shui" therapy to prevent evil and bad things from entering the house.
