What's the point of building tombstones for ancestors?

Tombstone is equivalent to the gate of the yin house, and it is the throat that absorbs the breath of the outside world. Its orientation is related to good or bad luck, so the orientation of the monument cannot be arbitrary when it is erected. In the plain (called Pingyanglong in Feng Shui), there are few real mountains and water, and the external atmosphere is generally weak. The power of setting up a monument to change good or bad is also small, and the effect of setting up a monument is far less obvious than that in mountainous areas. There are several elements in building a monument.

First, choose a day shift.

Choose an auspicious time according to the mountain where the monument is erected. If a monument is erected in Tomb-Sweeping Day, it should be erected in the first week and the second half of Tomb-Sweeping Day. If you set up a monument at another time, you must choose the right time. Why didn't you choose the exact time to erect the tombstone before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day? There are two periods in a year to choose the date of feng shui. At one time, before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, all matters about burying haunted houses, such as adding soil, erecting monuments and planting trees, were not taboo, which is why people concentrated all matters about burying haunted houses in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Second, the positioning is reasonable.

This operation is very professional, and it needs to be accurately positioned with a compass according to the position of running water, the height of terrain and the position of pits and ponds.

Third, the texture and color of the flat surface.

The stone tablet is the best material and has long weathering resistance. The color of the tablet surface should be black or gray, which has a dignified feeling and is cold and turbid, and is also suitable for yin houses. You can't use bright colors. Flat plates have bright colors and dirty colors. Among them, according to the direction (front) of the monument, the south should be gray but not black, and the east and southeast should be black but not gray.

Fourth, the size and shape of the stone tablet.

It shouldn't be too high or too short. Generally it should not be too low, but the abdomen is too high and the neck is too high. Not as high as possible. Most people's tombs are not too big. Unlike the tombs of emperors, tall monuments stand in front of caves, which puts pressure on the tombs and affects the future of future generations. Tombstone shape, rectangular, regular, not too narrow or too wide. If the tombstone is short and wide, people will be short and fat.

Fifth, the location of the tombstone.

Tombstones stand at the head and foot of the coffin. Standing at the head of the coffin, known as the Yinbei, is beneficial to Ding Yansi, and standing at the foot of the coffin is beneficial to family wealth. However, it should be noted that the distance between the tombstone and the grave should not be pressed to the coffin, but to the head of the coffin. Later head diseases, such as headache, stupidity and mental illness, will be crushed to the foot of the coffin, and later people will get foot diseases and leg diseases. In addition, the foundation of the tombstone should be solid to prevent the tombstone from tilting due to soft subsidence in the future, otherwise it will be violently dismissed from office and left home, and future generations will walk askew.

Sixth, the monument.

Generally, tombstones have stone seats. After the rammed foundation is in place, the pedestal can be erected. If there is an incense table, it must be placed in front of the memorial tablet. Never use the incense table as a memorial tablet. If you put the tombstone on the incense table, you will fail.

Seventh, the inscription

Stone tablets are generally engraved with the name of the tomb owner, the name of the person who set up the monument (usually descendants), the date of setting up the monument, and so on. Stone tablets must be carved in a concave way, not in a convex way. Secondly, the number of words should be over the ecliptic. The ecliptic originated from Taoism in Zhang Ling coincides with the date of 12. According to calculation, the single digits of the total number of words are 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9. It's better to cross the white road. According to calculation, the single digits of the total number of words are 1, 2, 6, 7. But there is no need to stick to the number of words. Furthermore, the font should not be running script or cursive script, but solemn Wei Bei, official script and regular script. In the mountain grave, if the drinking water image (drinking water image refers to the mountain around the cave site is shaped like an animal, such as ant land, centipede land, tiger land, cow land, civet cat land, tiger mountain land, dragon playing pearl, phoenix spreading its wings and so on. Drinking water is a special content in geomantic omen), so it is not appropriate to set up a monument. There should be special content when offering sacrifices, such as tiger land and meat when offering sacrifices.

After the tombstone is erected, pay attention to protection. If it is skewed, it should be corrected. If you drop it, clean it. If it breaks, it should be repaired or replaced. According to Feng Shui, tombstones are related to the good or bad of the whole family, such as cracking, early illness on the top or upper part of the tombstone, disaster in the boss on the left side of the tombstone, and injured women on the back of the tombstone. Although you can't believe it all, you should be careful. -Yanhuang Fengshui Network
