What's the point of erecting a monument in a cemetery?

First of all, the direction of the monument

The erection direction of the monument should be consistent with the direction of the acupuncture points. Many friends know the details of Yin House Feng Shui. There are 24 mountain directions in the vertical direction, and 360 is divided into 24 parts, which is 15 degrees, that is, a mountain direction of 15 degrees. If the mountain direction of the monument is inconsistent with the direction of the acupuncture points in the cemetery, it may lead to a difference of thousands of miles. Pointing is the most critical link in geomantic omen of Yin House. He is related to the popularity, health and career of future generations, and is more beneficial to future generations. Remember the location of the northeast, generally do not erect a monument, because the traditional root is the gate of hell, where erecting a monument is easy to make family members uneasy, gloomy and haunted.

Second, the time to build the monument.

Monuments to deceased relatives should be erected during 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. There should be around Tomb-Sweeping Day, at the beginning of the lunar calendar 1, at the end of the twelfth lunar month. The specific time should be chosen on an auspicious day. Don't scramble for time with the late monument-setters, so as to avoid bringing disadvantages to relatives and burying future troubles.

Third, the distance between the tombstone and the grave.

The distance between the tombstone and the tomb should not be too far or too close, usually between 9 inches and 6 feet from the acupoint. Remember that the tombstone and the grave should not touch each other at zero distance as far as possible, which will easily affect the feng shui effect of the grave. Tombstones and acupoints cannot intersect. The specific distance depends on the structure of tombstones and acupoints.

Fourth, the size and color of the tombstone.

The tombstone should be the right size. If the acupoints in the tomb are small and the tombstone is big, it is top-heavy. If they are too small, there is not enough power. The size of the tombstone is mainly based on the coordination between the tomb and the tombstone, and the color of the tombstone is determined according to the color of the backer. If it is in the northwest to the southeast, because the northwest is golden, it is best to be yellow and white. If you sit south to north, the tombstone color is best to choose red and yellow, and so on.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) inscription on a tombstone

The inscription is mainly composed of the following three parts.

1, Head-up: Head-up mainly describes the post and occupation of the deceased before his death, and some can be omitted.

2. Text: mainly state the name of the deceased and the name of the deceased by the monument builder. For example, "First test the main tomb of Wang Junma".

3. Inscription: indicate the identity and name of the person who set up the monument, and the time of setting up the monument can be written or not. People with political achievements should also be engraved with epitaphs. Epitaphs often consist of three parts: title, text and inscription. In order to save trouble, many people carve the names of the living and the dead together. For example, if a couple dies, they will also carve the living on the tombstone. Teacher Yang thinks this is not appropriate. It is never a good thing for the living to go to the tombstone to accompany the dead. You can leave a place to make up for it later, or you can set up a monument together later.
