The "Taishan stone" in the streets and lanes of old Ji'nan
origin: Ji'nan Ming Fu City
once, you walk through the The Strip Lane in Ji'nan, and from time to time, you will see the exterior walls of some houses, with a block carved on the walls. The five word "Taishan Dang Dang" is Shijie with a height of two feet and a width of only a foot.
originally, old Ji'nan is very particular about the choice of homestead, we must first ask Mr. Feng Shui to see right and right. There are many taboos, such as gates, streets, alleyways, temples, ancestral halls, barracks and so on. If it is not to be built, it must be on the wall of the street "Taishan stone", saying that there is "Taishan stone" to take on it, can drive evil, evil, evil, home peace.
as the name suggests, the origin of Shijie is of course related to Taishan. In the eyes of the common people, Taishan is a "sacred mountain", worshipping the "Yuan Xia yuan Jun", and the Jinan people are known as "Taishan grandma". No wonder, "Grandpa" didn't know where to go. Although the old grandmother sat alone in the shrine, she was very impressive. "The monument of Dongyue Temple in Taishan" says: "Bi Xia yuan Jun can bless all sentient beings. The poor are willing to be rich, the sick are willing to be safe, the cultivator is willing to be rich, the family is willing to profit, the pray for the living is willing to the year, the son is willing to heir... And God is also popular in shaven. " You see how big the "Granny" is! So generations of incense wound around, worship worshiped. "Everything has a spirit", not to mention that even the Taishan stone is stained with "immortal Qi". Taking the stone town house and eliminating it are becoming Ji'nan customs. In the past, the author built his house near the West and saw the stone "Taishan stone Dang". A bricklayer replied in a loud voice, "sleep at night!" At that time, I was puzzled. Later, I realized that when the night was deep, the ghost of a wandering soul would not be terrified and frightened.
an interesting phenomenon.
