Where should Taishan Shi Gandang be placed at home?

If a corner of the house is missing, the lettered side of Mount Tai Shi Gandang can face the missing corner.

If Taishan Shi Gandang is taken as the town house, you can put Taishan Shi Gandang in the living room, study or bedroom, and the living room is generally preferred.

If you use Taishan Shi Gandang to block the evil spirit, you can put it in the direction of facing the evil spirit.

Mount Shi Gandang is the first batch of intangible cultural heritage announced by the State Council. In the old customs, anyone who lives in a house will rush to the bridge, alley or road and erect a small stone tablet outside the wall with the words "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" engraved on it to ward off evil spirits.

There were many taboos and worships in ancient times, and "Shi Gandang on Mount Tai" was one of them: putting a stone tablet engraved with Shi Gandang on the bridge road or building wall (three feet three inches high) can suppress all ominous evils and is very popular among the people. In June 2006, it was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

Lingshi worship

Lingshi worship is a very primitive and popular religious custom, which was formed in prehistoric society. Class society has its own customs, which depends on the backward scientific level at that time. People can't resist nature and can only use stones as a symbol of their worship.

The worship of Lingshi is related to the worship of heaven, earth, mountains, water, ancestors, happiness, evil and disasters. Here we only discuss the worship of Lingshi, which has a certain relationship with "Shi Gandang" and has the function of avoiding evil spirits and hating disasters. Animism is the initial stage of the development of primitive religious thought. Some rocks have peculiar shapes, colors or special geographical environment, which may have been endowed with spirituality by the ancients.
