A stone tablet to ward off evil spirits. The words "Shi Gandang" or "Taishan Shi Gandang" are engraved on the stone tablet, and there are bas-reliefs of the lion's head and the tiger's head on the stone tablet. The written record of "Shi Gandang" was first seen in the "Jizhang" of the Western Han Dynasty history tour: "Learn from the tiger, Shi Gandang, and the dragon will not invade." In the Yuan Dynasty, Tao's Record of Dropping out of Farming in Nancun recorded that "if a family's main entrance rushes to the bridge, it will be disgusting to erect a small stone general or plant a small stone tablet." Shi Gandang also has different styles in different places, including bas-reliefs, round carvings and those with gossip patterns. Some are not decorated at all, only engraved with Shi Gan Dang or Taishan Stone Gan Dang.

Shi Gandang, unearthed in the Song Dynasty in the fifth year of Tang Dynasty (770), is engraved with the words "Shi Gandang, town evil spirits, officials have good fortune, people have health, prosperity and courtesy." Text, we can see the role of Shi Gandang at that time.
Edit the legend of Shi Gandang.
According to legend, Taishan Stone was considered to have unique spirituality and divine power in ancient times, so Shi Gan on Mount Tai should be regarded as a kind of spiritual stone worship. Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty climbed Mount Tai and brought back four Taishan stones, which were placed in the four corners of Weiyang Palace to ward off evil spirits. Mount Tai is considered to have magical power to protect the country, so the stones of Mount Tai are considered to have gods to protect the family. There is a family in Wenkou Town, south of Tai 'an. An old couple has only one daughter. I don't know when it started. Every time the sun goes down, I see a demon wind blowing from the southeast and going straight into the girl's room. Over time, the girl became sallow and emaciated and very weak. Many doctors can't cure her illness. At this time, someone said, "There seems to be a demon, and taking medicine alone can't cure it. It is said that there is a brave Shi Gandang on Mount Tai. Why not ask him to do something? " Shi Gandang said, "Easy. We have 12 virgins. Everyone has a gong. Prepare a pot of sesame oil, rub cotton into a thick wick, a pot and a chair. As long as these things are ready, I can catch the monster. " He put the wick in the sesame oil basin and lit the oil lamp. He buckled the basin and the pot together, sat beside it, and supported the edge of the pot with his feet, so that although the lamp was lit, there was no light in the distance. It's getting dark, and with the whirring noise, a demon wind is blowing from the southeast. Shi Gandang turned the pot upside down with one foot, and the oil lamp immediately gave off a dazzling light. Twelve couples beat gongs and drums at the same time. As soon as the monster entered the room, he saw the light and heard the sound. He flashed out and fled to the south. This demon wind came to Fujian and continued to rule as a blessing. Some farmers in Fujian are also troubled by the demon wind and are very ill. People asked around and heard that there was a Shi Gandang in Mount Tai that could drive away monsters, so they invited Shi Gandang to Fujian. Shi Gandang drove away the monster in the old way ... The demon wind fled to the northeast again, and some girls in the northeast were seriously ill, so people invited Shi Gandang to the northeast again. Shi Gandang thought, "I chased it once, and it escaped to other places. The country is so big, how can I run over? " Yes, there are many stones in Mount Tai. I asked the masons to carve my hometown and name on the stone-Shi Gandang, Mount Tai. Whoever has a demon wind will put this stone outside his house, and monsters are afraid to go in. "Later, Shi Gandang Taishan demon story spread more and more far. In order to ward off evil spirits, people always put stones engraved with "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" on the wall or at the door to ward off evil spirits. Jiang Taigong, Jiang Taigong and Shi Gandang are both "Taishan Shi Gandang". There are several theories about how "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" came about. Some people say it's a stone, others say it's a stone name. There is a saying that Jiang Taigong is Shi Gandang. Legend has it that Jiang Taigong is a god who is responsible for sealing from one place to another. In the end, he didn't know whether it was public or private, or he was so busy that he forgot his last name and first name. Finally, he had to call himself Mount Tai Shi Gandang. Bricks engraved with the words "Jiang Taigong is here, the gods return to their places" were built on the wall to subdue the demons. Since the Tang Dynasty, bricks engraved with the words "Jiang Taigong is here, the gods return home" have been built in many places to subdue ghosts and gods. According to legend, Zhou Wenwang once made Taigong an altar-filling order to manage Taishan area. As a result, the weather around Mount Tai is favorable and the crops are bumper, which is celebrated by the whole people. One night, King Wen suddenly had a strange dream. In his dream, on his way out on patrol, there was a very beautiful girl crying. King Wen asked her why, and the girl replied, "I am the daughter of Mount Tai in Dongyue, and now I am old enough to get married. My father married me, a woman from the East China Sea. But if I want to go to the East China Sea, I must make trouble, which will inevitably destroy people's crops and houses, and Jiang Taigong's reputation and prestige will plummet. I was in a dilemma and cried. " King Wen woke up and found it was a dream. He called the squire for questioning. On the day when Taigong came to see King Wen, there was a storm around Mount Tai, and the daughter of Taishan God took advantage of Taigong's absence to make waves and went to the East China Sea. King Wen thought Taigong had managed the fief well and made outstanding achievements, so he was named Fu. Therefore, the people draw a conclusion from this story that the ghosts in Wei Town will not be evocative as long as he is here. Therefore, people put bricks engraved with the words "Jiang Taigong is here, the gods return home" on the walls outside the house and at intersections to subdue ghosts.

Shi Gandang on Mount Tai is the inheritance and development of "Shi Gandang". The written record of "Shi Gandang" was first seen in the "Jizhang" of the Western Han Dynasty history tour: "Learn from the tiger, Shi Gandang, and the dragon will not invade." Its original meaning is: Lingshi can resist everything. In folklore, this stems from the primitive worship of stones by the ancients. Ancient humans used stone axes, knives and sickles to hunt animals, dig, plant, make fires and defend themselves ..... and stubbornly survived the hard years in the wild. "Shi Gandang" is the charm of stone worship and an interesting phenomenon in folklore. The word "Shi Gandang" appeared on the stone of the town house in the late Tang Dynasty. According to Lu Bei Zhi in the Song Dynasty, in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang, the magistrate of Putian County, Fujian Province, unearthed a stone tablet with the inscription: Shi Gandang, town full of ghosts, disaster-averse, rich officials, healthy people, Chang Jiao, Li Le, Zhang ..., which is the earliest physical historical data unearthed in Shi Gandang. After the Ming Dynasty, with the development of Mount Tai belief, the word "Mount Tai" was added to the stone carvings in Shi Gandang. In the communication, Shi Gandang and Taishan Shi Gandang coexist. At the same time, there are other inscriptions, such as "General Shi" and "Doctor Shi". In the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and contemporary times, "Taishan Shi Gandang" was the mainstay. Shi Gandang customs, after several generations, have spread to today. Since the Qing Dynasty, a temple dedicated to Shi Gandang-Doctor Stone Temple has also appeared around Mount Tai.

How does the editor place Shi Gandang in this paragraph?
Shi Gandang Mountain is a kind of geomantic omen. Perhaps we often hear that there should be a "Shi Gan pawn" or a "water god rebound" near the mansion to ward off evil spirits and turn evil spirits into evil spirits. Many people don't understand why such things should be placed. The setting of "Shi Gandang" is used to melt evil spirits. The owner put "Shi Gandang" on the roadside or on the wall for safety. Shi Gandang has a long history. According to legend, in the era of the Yellow Emperor, when Chiyou climbed Mount Tai, the goddess Nu Wa tried to control her violence, so she cast an alchemy stone engraved with the words "Mount Tai Shi Gandang". Chiyou is very angry. He wanted to destroy the stone, but he couldn't destroy any corner, so he had to flee in despair. When the Yellow Emperor saw it, he set up "Shi Gandang" in various places. When it was established, it was necessary to select the Dragon and Tiger Festival after the winter solstice (the so-called Dragon and Tiger Festival, such as Chen Jia and Chen Bing). ), first choose long stone carvings, then worship with three pounds of raw meat on New Year's Eve, and then erect them at the appropriate time in the New Year. "Shi Gandang" is something to ward off evil spirits, and has nothing to do with airflow. Therefore, if the land used to be filthy, such as garbage dumps, hospital morgues and cemeteries, Shi Gandang can be used to suppress filth and ward off evil spirits.
