Is it a good thing or a bad thing for future generations to erect a monument?

Building a monument is good for future generations.

To erect a monument to the ancestral grave, we should choose an auspicious day according to the owner's eight characters and the specific situation of the yin house, and we should not compete with the deceased or the monument to wear it. In feng shui, every grass, tree or tiny thing in the cemetery is related to good luck or bad luck. Tombstone is equivalent to the gate of the yin house, and it is the throat that absorbs the breath of the outside world, so the direction of the monument can't be arbitrary. It is for these reasons that it is not easy to erect a monument to the ancestral grave.

From the perspective of folk geomantic omen, people's attention to tombstones often affects the success or failure of a family or even a dynasty. Therefore, China has a saying of "a land of geomantic omen" since ancient times. "Geomantic treasure land" refers to the cemetery. Tombstones can play the role of "finishing touch", and the direction of graves can be judged by the direction of tombstones, which will remind future generations to worship and not go in the wrong direction.

Matters needing attention in setting up ancestral graves monument:

1. When erecting a monument to the ancestral grave, we should pay attention to whether there is any depression or damage on the top of the tombstone, and whether the descendants have head injuries or mental disorders, and pay special attention to whether there is any damage.

2. Tombstones are tall and short, and their elders are horizontal. The main descendants are hard and can't be idle.

3. Generally, we should choose some materials that can withstand weathering for a long time. Black or gray is the best color, because black is a deep, serious and dignified color, and the five elements belong to water and are cool colors, which are suitable for yin houses. Shadows can also be gray, so monuments generally choose black and gray.
