What does Mount Tai Shi Gandang mean?

There are many versions of Mount Tai Shi Gandang. It is said that in ancient times, there was a strong woodcutter named Shi Gandang on Mount Tai. He is very brave. Every day before dawn, he goes to the forest to cut wood. There are wolves and tigers in the forest. He is never afraid.

On this day, when he came back from selling firewood, he passed by the door of a member's house and only heard a cry in the yard. Shi Gandang thought, what difficulties will an open member's home have? He wanted to go in and ask, but he felt uncomfortable. He looked around and saw a notice saying that my daughter Yu Lian was possessed by a demon and many wizards were invited to leave. If anyone can surrender to the devil, he is willing to marry her. Shi Gandang got it.

So he took off the notice, patted the door outside the member and opened it. An old servant asked Shi Gandang, "Little brother, can you exorcise demons?" Shi Gandang said, "You try!" The old servant took him to the living room and sat down. Shi Gandang asked some questions about Miss's being haunted by a demon. After hearing this, he patted his chest and said, I will definitely help you catch the monster.

At night, all the doors of Mr. W's house were bolted. Around the second watch, a gust of wind blew out the light in the young lady's room. At this moment, a monster came, tall and with big furry hands, trying to catch the young lady. Just then, Shi dared to block his head, put on his hat, took out a wooden stick, stopped the door and shouted, "Look at that monster!" " I heard the general fall with a whoosh. The monster couldn't dodge, got a stick and ran away, clutching his injured head.

From then on, it was known that Shi Gandang could exorcise demons. If anyone has anything, please ask Shi Gandang for help.

These stories are all folk stories. In fact, in real life, the main fear is that the corners of the house are touched, which will affect the structural quality of the house. Therefore, the stone monument "Taishan Shi Gandang" is also a warning and eye-catching sign.

Twenty years ago, there was a family in our village, whose door faced the road. A fortune teller passed by and said it was called rushing, and something would happen at home. Not long after, the man in that family suddenly had a stomachache. At that time, he had never heard of the disease.

Later, there was a stone in front of his house, which read Mount Tai and Shi Gandang. Later, I found that many houses facing the intersection had these words: Mount Tai, Shi Gandang. At that time, I wondered, shouldn't Taigong be here? After all, the legend is well known.

Later I learned that there are many legends about Mount Tai and Shi Gandang:

First, it is said that Mount Tai is known as the commander-in-chief of all ghosts, that is, Mount Tai is in charge of invisibility. Shi Gan Dang, a subordinate of Mount Tai, is famous for his bravery and is good at descending ghosts. People often ask him for help. He is too busy. Later, he carved his name on the Taishan stone, and asked him to take a stone if necessary, which also had the same effect of dispelling evil spirits.

Secondly, some people say that Shi Gandang was a heroic general of five generations and died to protect the emperor. People carved his name on the stone tablet in memory of his hero protector. It gives the meaning of good luck.

In June 2006, Shi Gandang was listed as the first intangible cultural heritage by the State Council. It can be seen that its influence is great.

Speaking of Mount Tai and Shi Gandang, we have to start with a story.

Once upon a time, there lived a powerful fairy on Mount Tai. He is brave and strong, and bears the heavy responsibility of sweeping away demons for the residents at the foot of the mountain.

At that time, there were many monsters, and there were always monsters everywhere. He is busy all day and is willing to exorcise demons for the people.

Later, he became more and more famous. When the monsters heard that he was coming, they all ran away.

Later, the fairy had a brainwave. Busy as a bee, he found a broken stone head on Mount Tai and carved his name: Mount Tai Shi Gandang.

Whenever people ask him for help and he is too busy, let people take the stone with his name engraved on it and put it on the house.

The monsters looked at it and said, ah! Taishan Shi Gandang is here. Run! Afraid of running away [yeah]

People were ecstatic when they saw it. This method is good! Mount Tai and Shi Gandang are carved on the house, so the genie will not dare to come, and there will be no need to bother the immortals in Shi Gandang in the future.

Since then, this habit has been preserved and gradually became a custom. As long as houses are built, people will engrave the words Mount Tai and Shi Gandang to ward off evil spirits.

People all hope that their lives can turn around and live a happy life.

Taishan Shi Gandang is the traditional culture of China, and the State Council has listed Taishan Shi Gandang as the first intangible cultural heritage.

There used to be a man named Shi Gandang on Mount Tai who could catch evil spirits. Because he lives in Mount Tai, he is called (Mount Tai Shi Gandang). Actually, it's not the stone of Mount Tai that can work. Taishan Shi Gandang was strung together by later generations. ……

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a king in Tai 'an Prefecture. The old couple gave birth to a daughter over half a year old. My daughter was kept at home from childhood and studied poetry and composition at home all day. She is gentle and filial, and is deeply loved by the members.

My daughter has reached marriageable age and plans to recruit a son-in-law. Because she is too high or too low, she can't get it. On the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, the Lantern Festival was held in Tai 'an. My daughter, her neighbors and sisters visited the lantern market. There are colorful lanterns, people come and go in the streets and lanes, and firecrackers continue. Suddenly, a frightened carriage ran around and passed my daughter. I fainted to the ground because of fright. When everyone helped me up, I behaved strangely and went crazy in an instant.

I sought medical advice everywhere, but it didn't get better. I had no choice but to post a notice asking for medical treatment in dozens of gardens in Fiona Fang: If I can cure my daughter's illness, I am willing to take half of my family's property to worship. If I were an unmarried man, I would like my daughter to get married.

It is said that there lived a stonemason at the foot of Mount Tai. He is honest and helpful. After seeing the notice, he thought, isn't this the carriage he drove to others that scared others? Although no one bothered him, he always felt guilty and uneasy. Suddenly he remembered the secret recipe for madness that his father told him on his deathbed and went straight to Mr. W's house. Seeing that the stonemason was humble and honest, unlike a charlatan, Mr. W told the stonemason about his daughter's illness. When the stonemason heard this, he thought it was his own fault, so he told Mr. W: Let people coax her into staying in the room for three days and nights; Hundreds of lanterns were hung in the backyard of the mansion, and hundreds of drums, gongs and firecrackers were hired. Please invite another 100 men and women to choose a quiet and beautiful woman, dressed in antique, elegant and beautiful; On the fourth day, the daughter outside the teacher was very sleepy and could sleep. After dinner, everything is arranged in the backyard, just like a real Lantern Festival. The bricklayer rushed to the front of the carriage, let the selected beauty get on the bus, and let the crazy daughter outside be carried to the backyard. Everything was ready, and the masons waved their whips in the air, and immediately firecrackers exploded and gongs and drums roared, waking the crazy girl from her dream. At this time, the lights were bright, everyone cheered, guns were fired everywhere, and the carriage came running and stopped not far from the crazy girl. A fairy-like woman is standing on the bus. After that, I handed a red paper bag to Mr. Wang, and then I got on the bus and left. At this time, Miss Wang woke up from a big dream and suddenly felt that the Lantern Festival was very warm. Everyone around her was very kind and grateful to the fairy who gave the medicine. For more than half a year, she smiled for the first time. Since then, the girl's illness has completely recovered.

Mr. Wang kept the promise of the notice and recruited the stonemason as his son-in-law. On the wedding day, all the neighbors came to congratulate him, and the story of masons treating girls spread all over the country.

After that, people came to seek medical treatment in an endless stream, and the masons were too busy to come, so they thought of a way to carve the words "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" on the stone and give them to those who came to seek medical treatment. It turns out that the stonemason himself is called Shi, who dares to be a monk and lives at the foot of Mount Tai. After the stonemason died, people carved the words "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" on the stone and embedded the stone in their own walls. This habit has been passed down from generation to generation, and has gradually become a symbol of disease prevention and evil spirits, peace and good luck.

Legend has it that Shi Gandang on Mount Tai is a god on Mount Tai, who specializes in cleaning up monsters. A god is too busy to help everyone, so people carve a shrine of "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" on the house, and monsters dare not come to other people's homes to harm people.

This habit was preserved and gradually became a custom. As long as houses are built, people will engrave the words Mount Tai and Shi Gandang to ward off evil spirits.

Later, it was listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list, and this cultural custom has been protected and passed down.

There is a legend, as we all know, Mount Tai is located in Tai 'an City, Shandong Province. In the past, when emperors ascended the throne and died, they all went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices.

Shi Gandang is a human name. He went to see the doctor badly. Once, a little girl fell ill in the mountains, and her family immediately drove her to Shi Gandang's house. Shi Gandang looked at it and said that you prepared twelve children for me. 12 boys and girls, male drummers and female drummers beat gongs, and then the little girl was tossed by rice, flour, chicken, pig's head and other sacrifices.

So Shi Gandang's name became popular. Many local people go to his home to see a doctor, but it is also very difficult in Shi Gandang. If I see a doctor at home every day, I can't see the disease in other places, so I can't see a doctor. So he asked someone to step on many stones on Mount Tai and write his name on them. Whoever brings the stone home means that I, Shi Gandang, am here, so there is Mount Tai.
