Why is there a stone tablet that says "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" next to the old house?

In fact, this has a lot to do with the ancient geomantic culture. People think that putting it outside the door can bring good luck to themselves, bring blessings to their families and avoid some misfortunes and accidents, because Shi Gandang is very famous among the ancient people. They think that Mount Tai and Shi Gandang can beat away some bad things, which is very effective, can bless people and turn evil into good.

Shi Gandang on Mount Tai is a folk culture, which is used by the people to ward off evil spirits. It has the same effect as the folk saying "Jiang Taigong is here", and it is mostly used in roads and places with fast-flowing water, in order to crack evil spirits and turn evil into good luck.

Some people think that Mount Tai is an upright place on earth, so in ancient times, emperors had to worship in Mount Tai. At crossroads and fork roads, it is easy to see Sha Qi, which is regarded as a ghost road by some people, that is, the road taken by people and ghosts. Therefore, some houses built near intersections and fork roads put Taishan Shi Gandang at the fork road opposite the intersection to suppress evil spirits and ghosts.

Shi Gandang culture is used by the people to avoid ghosts and evil spirits, which reflects people's mentality of pursuing a better life, rather than feudal superstition, and has great influence at home and abroad. It is often used not only in residential buildings, but also in the construction of large gardens. This is a unique landscape of China architecture.

Moreover, its location is also very particular. If it is strangled, you don't have to consider the direction of the word, just put it where it won't be touched. If it is used to block evil spirits and fill corners, it requires more. The front of Shi Gandang should face the direction of evil spirits, that is, the side of lettering. Place the same as above, living room, bedroom or study, living room is the first choice. Stay away from crowded places, because it will be unlucky to break.
