Shiji Niangniang (石磯娘娘, “Lady Rock”) is a 10,000-year-old stone spirit (yaoguai) from Chinese mythology, appearing prominently in the 16th-century novel Fengshen Yanyi and in the religious compendium Sanjiao Soushen Daquan. Born during the Chaos and Xuanhuang eras, she transformed from a natural stone infused with the essence of the sun and moon into a divine human-like figure after millennia of cultivation.

Originally recorded in the Southern Song text Yijianzhi as a stone spirit subdued by Nezha, Shiji’s story evolved over time, linking her with Nezha in literature and media. In Fengshen Yanyi, she became a Taoist disciple under Tongtian Jiaozhu, lived in Skull Mountain’s White Bone Cave, and had two apprentices. After Nezha accidentally killed one of them, Shiji sought revenge, but was ultimately defeated and turned back into molten rock by Taiyi Zhenren’s Nine-Dragon Fire Net. She was posthumously appointed Yue Youxingjun (“Moon-Wandering Star Lord”).

Shiji is portrayed as rigid and strict, sometimes demonic despite being on the side of order, and is worshipped in Chinese folk religion, with temples such as Sanyuan Dong Cave Temple near Ma'anshan City enshrining her statue.
