The Inheritance Significance of Shi Gandang Customs in Mount Tai

Shi Gandang's "auspicious and peaceful culture" displayed on Mount Tai embodies people's universal desire for peace and harmony, and embodies the humanistic spirit and cultural creativity of the Chinese nation. The reason why the custom of Shi Gandang in Mount Tai has lasted for thousands of years is mainly combined with the belief that "the Chinese soul belongs to Mount Tai", and also with the folk beliefs and folk culture of Han people everywhere. On this premise, it has acquired a cultural tradition rooted in relevant communities and groups and passed down from generation to generation. Shi Gandang's belief has been recognized by many regions and ethnic groups in China and spread abroad, which reflects the historical continuity of Chinese civilization from one side, so it has the unique value of witnessing the vitality of Chinese cultural tradition.

In the process of spreading in vast areas at home and abroad, Shi Gandang has produced a large number of exquisite stone carvings and statues, which not only have aesthetic and artistic values, but also are important historical relics. Shi Gandang fairy tales spread orally by the people and related operas and quyi created by folk artists fully show the creativity of folk culture and art.
