What is the significance of erecting a monument in the countryside?

First of all, the direction of the monument

The direction of the tablet should be consistent with the direction of the acupoint. Many friends know the details of Yin House Feng Shui. There are 24 mountain directions in the vertical direction, and 360 degrees is divided into 24 parts, which is 15 degrees, that is, one mountain direction of 15 degrees. If the mountain direction of the monument is inconsistent with the direction of the acupuncture points in the cemetery, it may lead to a difference of thousands of miles. Pointing is the most critical link in geomantic omen of Yin House.

Second, the time to build the monument.

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. If a monument is erected in Tomb-Sweeping Day, it should be built in the first week and the second half of Tomb-Sweeping Day. At other specific times, you must choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and don't grab the monument with the deceased, so as not to bring disadvantages to your loved ones and bury future troubles.

Third, the distance between the tombstone and the grave.

The distance between the tombstone and the grave should not be too far or too close, generally between 9 inches and 6 feet from the acupoint. Remember that tombstones and graves should try not to touch each other at zero distance. If you are too close, it will easily affect the feng shui effect of the grave. If it is too far away, the tombstone and the acupoint can't meet. The specific distance depends on the structure of tombstones and acupoints.

Fourth, the inscription on the tombstone.

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. Check: Check is mainly about the post and occupation of the deceased before his death, and some can be omitted. Text: mainly state the name of the deceased, the name of the deceased. Inscription: indicate the identity and name of the person who set up the monument, and the time of setting up the monument can be written or not. People with political achievements should also be engraved with epitaphs.
