What's the point of erecting a monument to parents?

The key points of erecting a monument for parents include: the date, orientation, texture and color of the monument surface.

1, the date of monument selection.

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.

2. Direction

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.

3. Texture and color of tablet 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. The color is cold and cloudy, and it is also suitable for yin houses, not bright 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.

The best time to erect a monument

There are two periods in a year when you don't need to choose a date, one is Tomb-Sweeping Day, and the other is the winter solstice. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional auspicious day for China to pay homage to his ancestors. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, all matters related to burial sites, such as adding soil, erecting monuments and planting trees, were avoided, which is why people concentrated all matters related to burial sites in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Of course, Tomb-Sweeping Day's monument should not be too far away from Tomb-Sweeping Day, but within the week before Tomb-Sweeping Day and the second half of Tomb-Sweeping Day. If you want to set up a monument at another time, you must choose an auspicious day, and don't compete with the deceased who set up the monument to prevent it from bringing disadvantages to your loved ones and burying future troubles.
