Yu’s father was Xuán Wǔ, who was very respected, and people believed he was a tortoise. There was another branch of the Xia Dynasty that believed that they were spiritually snakes. So, now the turtle and snake together, represent good luck and Xuán is the General Immortal Tortoise and Wǔ is the General Immortal Snake.
