Zhangshui Shenshi Monument, Chongguang Village Introduction
Appearance of Shigand Ang: Monument-shaped Shigand Ang Stele Inscription: Text and symbols constructed in the form of slab stone arc Dimensions: 0.41m * 0.16m * 1.28m Orientation: Southwest 197° Content of the inscription: "Thunder Command Originating Prosperity and Balance, breaking the Water General’s suppression of the Thirty-Six Heavens’ Gangs and Seventy-Two Earthly Kills." Before the restoration, it was commonly known as the Houku Tan, with the terrain higher in the south and lower in the north. Early on, during rainy weather, standing water resulted in the formation of three ponds known as "Ri Tan" (Sun Pond), "Zhong Tan" (Middle Pond), and "Yue Tan" (Moon Pond). During the expansion of Weiling Palace in the 24th year of the Republic of China, the Lingxiao Pagoda was renovated, and the "Zhangshui God" stone tablet was installed. It is said to be used to dispel the "water arrows" flowing from the southern Tianchi towards the settlement, and the bow-shaped face of the Moon Pond faces north towards the Houmen, which serves the function of breaking the water suppression of the Houmen.
