What does Mount Tai Shi Gandang mean? Why do many rural people carve these words on the roof?

At that time, the concept of rural people was that carving Mount Tai and Shi Gandang on the roof could ward off evil spirits. At that time, everyone's thoughts in the society were feudal, and they all hoped that the immediate family would be safe and happy, wish their families health, and let them feel that their home was blessed and the future would be smooth sailing.

When I got into this habit, it was in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, I heard that there was a man named Shi Gandang in Mount Tai in ancient times. At that time, it was said that Shi Gandang had superb skills and powerful magic. There were many monsters in his time. At that time, Shi Gandang took the responsibility of exorcism and never failed. It is said that monsters are afraid of him and his existence, so people at that time felt that living in Shi Gandang was very safe.

It is said that Shi Gandang is very capable, but he has only two hands and two feet, so he can't take care of every place, and he feels very tired himself. So what Shi Gandang wanted at that time was to let people choose a stone on Mount Tai, and then carve the five characters "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" by hand, and then let the people who asked for help stick it on the wall of their home. At that time, this method was also very useful, and monsters were afraid to run when they saw it.

Later, since then, people have carved "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" on stone tablets and pasted it in their own homes, so as to ward off evil spirits and keep peace. However, few people in today's society are superstitious about these things. Generally speaking, these things are regarded as the meaning of praying for happiness, and they are also a kind of prayer for people.
