,又名霸下[1]填下龙龟赑屃龙生九子之一,貌似而好负重,有齿,力大可驮负三山五岳。其背亦负以重物,在多为石碑、石柱之底台及墙头装饰,属灵禽祥兽。其原形可能为斑鳖

传说

越南河内文庙科举高中者的名碑。

传说赑屃在上古时代常驮著三山五岳,在江河湖海里兴风作浪。后来大禹治水时收服了它,它服从大禹的指挥,推山挖沟,疏遍河道,为治水作出了贡献。洪水治服了,大禹担心赑屃又到处撒野,便搬来顶天立地的巨大石碑,上面刻上大禹治水的功迹,叫赑屃驮著,沉重的石碑压得它不能随便行走。赑屃和龟十分相似,但细看却有差异,赑屃有一排牙齿,而龟类却没有,赑屃和龟类在背甲上甲片的数目和形状也有差异。赑屃并非石龟[2],为奰㞒的讹称俗书[3],是好文的象征[4]。它总是吃力地向前昂着头,四只脚拼命地撑著,挣扎着向前走,但总是移不开步。中国一些显赫石碑的基座都由赑屃驮著,在碑林和一些古迹胜地中都可以看到。

建筑运用

韩国首尔蚕室三田渡碑旁没有驮碑的赑屃。

在拆除北京旧城墙时,在嘉靖年间建造的东便门西便门的城墙下各发现半个赑屃,因此有好事者穿凿附会“赑屃驮著北京城之说”,事实上城门、寺庙是古碑文密集处之一,挖出赑屃不足为奇,如寿县古城靖淮门及北京碧云寺赑屃。

台湾现存有十座龟趺御碑,乃乾隆皇帝为了表彰福康安平定林爽文事件所赐。石碑高3.1米,宽1.4米,以金门“麻糬石”雕刻而成,其中四座全刻满文,四座全刻汉文,二座汉满文合刻。龟趺御碑运抵台南府时,其中一龟座不慎掉入港内,于是另以砂岩仿造一座,原座直到1911年才被台南渔民捞起,供奉在南厂保安宫内。碑座中的九座在赤崁楼中保存,另汉满文合刻的一座则立于嘉义,这碑座经数次迁移,现安置于嘉义公园中,名为福康安纪功碑
