In the daily language of people in northern Anhui, turtles are commonly known as old turtles. There are ditches and ponds all over the country, but the output is not much.

Whether in urban or rural areas, a pot of turtle soup on a more formal banquet table has become a yardstick to divide the banquet grades. With this pot of soup, the level of a table of banquets will go up in an instant. Without this soup, the banquet is not a seat.

This change is due to the improvement of people's living standards, and also related to the nutritional composition of soft-shelled turtle itself. According to legend, soft-shelled turtle has beauty and anti-cancer effect. It's hard to say whether it is true or not, but people in northern Anhui say so.

Once people get into a certain level and have a certain identity, they can participate in circles that ordinary people can't squeeze into. Besides drinking, playing cards and having fun, interpersonal relationships in that circle are a bit like establishing personal relationships, and there are thousands of them.
