Huang Li's theory of erecting monuments

On May 7th (the 35th day) after your grandfather's death, a monument will be erected for your uncle, aunt and mother. Carve your grandfather's date of birth from top to bottom on the right, the address and your grandfather's name from top to bottom in the middle, and leave a space for your grandmother's name in the middle. On the left, the eldest son of your mother's family will be carved from top to bottom, then the second son, and so on.

What I told you was the inscription carved vertically from right to left and from top to bottom. You can also choose horizontal inscriptions from left to right and from top to bottom.

The engraver in someone else's cemetery knows the details very well. If you want to listen to others, you just need to tell them the details of your family.

Supplementary answer:

"May 7th" means the fifth 7th day (that is, the 35th day), which is an idiom used for funerals (it is said in most parts of the country). Funeral is not always counted by 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, but divided into seven days.

The day after death is counted as the first day, and then the first seven days are called "the first seven days" (the seventh day). "The first seven days" are to send some paper money (burn paper); "Erqi" (day 14) does not need to go; "March 7" (that is, 2 1 day), and the second paper money will be issued; "April 7th" (28th) also don't have to go; On the 35th day of May 7th, a monument will be built.

In addition, in many places, seven days in advance is an ancient traditional habit.
