Shigandang
Shigandang (simplified Chinese: 石敢当; traditional Chinese: 石敢當; pinyin: shí gǎn dāng; Japanese: 石敢當 ishigantō) is an ornamental stone tablet with writings,[1] which is used to exorcise evil spirits in east Asia. The Shigandang are often associated with Mount Tai and are often placed on street intersections or three-way junctions, especially in the crossing, which is often considered a fierce place (凶位). Many Shigandang have been replaced by stone written with Nāmó Ēmítuófó.
