Zhangshui Divine Stone Tablet, Chongguang Village Introduction

Shigandang Appearance: Monument-type Shigandang Monument Inscription: Text and Symbol Construction Form: Piece of Stone Arc Shape Dimensions: 0.41 meters * 0.16 meters * 1.28 meters Orientation: Southwest 197° Inscription Content: "The Thunder Command is auspicious and righteous, subduing the Water General to break the evil spirits of the thirty-six skies and the seventy-two earth kills." Commonly known as Houkutan in Chongguang Village, the terrain is higher in the south and lower in the north. In the early days, it accumulated rainwater to form three ponds, namely "Sun Pond," "Middle Pond," and "Moon Pond." During the expansion of Weiling Temple in 1935, the Lingxiao Pagoda was renovated, and the "Zhangshui God" stone tablet was installed. It is said to be used to break the "water arrows" flowing towards the settlement from the fields in the south. Additionally, the bow-shaped face of Moon Pond faces the northern entrance, which serves to break the water spirits from Houmen.
