What should I pay attention to when setting up a tombstone?

1, the first thing to pay attention to is to choose the date, and the tablet is also about auspicious days, so it's best to ask a master who knows Feng Shui to help you look at it, and calculate it based on your family's date of birth, zodiac and other factors. When choosing the date of feng shui, there is a period of time in a year when you don't have to choose a date. One of the time periods is around Tomb-Sweeping Day, so we must not avoid adding soil, erecting monuments, planting trees and so on, which is why people concentrate on dealing with all the haunted houses in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

2. Pay attention to the size of the monument. 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. It better match the cemetery. Ordinary people's graves are not too big. Tall monuments standing in front of caves will put pressure on graves, but will affect the future of future generations, and future generations will not prosper. Tombstone shape, rectangular, regular, not too narrow or too wide. If the tombstone is short and wide, people will be short and fat. And these are all things that need attention.

There are many things to pay attention to when setting up a monument, among which there are many things to pay attention to in the inscription, which must be understood clearly. Generally, stone tablets are engraved with the owner's name, year of birth and year of death, and besides this information, there are also the names of the people who set up the monument (usually descendants) and the date of setting up the monument. The inscription must be concave, not convex. 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.

4. Furthermore, the font should not be running script or cursive script, but solemn Wei Bei, official script and regular script. But it also depends on local customs and the habits of stone carvers. If tombs are to be built, most of them must have epitaphs. Epitaphs are generally engraved with the name, industry, achievements, year of death, the 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. And these can be decided according to your own mind.

5. Pay attention to protection after the tombstone is erected. When you have time to pay homage, you should pay attention to cleaning up the weeds and trees around the tombstone. Monuments should not be crooked, bird droppings should be wiped clean, and cracks should be repaired or replaced. According to Feng Shui, gravestones are related to the good or bad luck of the whole family. Friends who believe in feng shui numerology had better pay attention. In addition, there are some exquisite historical sites, different regions, different customs and different fears, all of which are different.
