The legend of Shi Gandang is not clearly recorded. In the "Urgent Articles" of the Han Dynasty, it was written: "If you learn from tigers, Shi Gandang will not invade, and dragons will not be in the middle." Dragon is synonymous with the emperor, water and stone, and dares to bear the brunt. Does the stone refer to people or things? It was difficult to draw a conclusion because the background of the times was not clear at that time.

If it refers to stones, it embodies the great power of stones and makes people worship them. In particular, Mount Tai, with its majestic sky, towering peaks and majestic independence, is the respect of the five mountains.
