In ancient China, the "tomb instead of grave" was just buried underground, and there was no sign on the surface. Later, there was a grave with dirt on the ground and a tombstone.

After death, if you want to build a tomb, most of them must have an epitaph. Epitaphs generally record the name, place of origin, achievements, year of death, name of the person who built the monument and the relationship with the deceased. Writing an inscription should be full of respect and affection for the deceased. In the 22 nd year of the Republic of China, the Yuan Keli Tombstone, an interview with Suixian County, Tongzhi County, Henan Province, said: "Yuan Shangshu can set a tombstone, which is in the south of Suizhou City and the east of Liudian Village." The monument is eight feet high and is still called the system, about ten feet high.

You can remember the graves of bereavement for one or two generations, but not after three generations, especially after migration and war, you don't know where the ancestral graves are. How to solve it, people have come up with many ways. At first, people buried the dead. Inspired by the wooden stakes used to maintain the coffin rope, they inserted wooden stakes and bamboo poles in front of the tomb and tied fibrous things (paper or silk, etc.) ) to indicate the date and time of birth and death of the deceased, which is called "Ming Jing" (or "Ming Jing"). But it is easy to be damaged, so people try to find another way: the rich use stone pillars instead of wooden pillars, and engrave the name, birth time and official rank of the deceased on the stone pillars.
