②? Not suitable for building a house: for rural elderly, there are many things that can't be done in spring, such as building a house. Building a house is a happy event for rural people and the hope of the whole family. Therefore, people think that it is very unlucky not to build a house in beginning of spring in the year of mourning, so there is a saying that it is not appropriate to build a house in the year of mourning.

③? It is not appropriate to erect a monument: people generally don't erect a monument in the year of widowhood, because they miss and cherish the dead and yearn for a better life.
