Later, Taishan stone was personified, and its surname was Dare Yes, also known as General Shi. Later, Shi Gandang, carved an image, developed. The god "Shi Gandang" has no specific image, but the words "Mount Tai and Shi Gandang" are engraved on stone tablets and stone strips, standing at traffic intersections, or at the corner of the road, or beside the road or embedded in the wall to exorcise evil spirits.
Since the Qin dynasty, the emperor has traveled all over the world to famous mountains, climbed Mount Tai many times, meditated in seclusion, sacrificed to heaven, and made stone carvings to record his merits. Scholars also like to travel and climb mountains, thus leaving behind a dazzling array of stone tablets and cliff carvings, which have become an important part of China's stone appreciation culture.
Shi Guwen, a stone carving of Qin Dynasty discovered in Chencang, Shaanxi Province in the early Tang Dynasty, is known as the "ancestor of stone carving" in China. It has been more than 2700 years since I learned that the stone drum is actually a stone tablet.
After Qin Shihuang unified China, he visited many famous mountains and left many stone carvings, including Yishan, Langya Mountain, Zhifu and Dongguan. Qin left the stone and carved it, and it evolved from carving stone to writing tablet. These stone carvings are cultural treasures and natural calligraphy exhibitions, which greatly enrich the connotation of stone culture.
