The custom of Shi Gandang in Mount Tai is the relic of ancient people's worship of Lingshi. Rock and roll, regarded as personality by myth, is a typical Han folk culture with long-term spread and wide geographical influence in China, and it belongs to town (to ward off evil spirits) culture in China. The custom of "Shi Gandang" is widely distributed in the region, centering on Mount Taishan, Shandong Province, and gradually spreading to Japanese and Koreans all over the country (including Taiwan Province Province and ethnic minority areas), East Asia and Southeast Asia, and overseas Chinese communities all over the world. On May 20th, 2006, Taishan Shi Gandang custom was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
