1. Don't be too far away from Tomb-Sweeping Day when Tomb-Sweeping Day sets up the monument. It's usually about a week before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival to sweep graves and worship ancestors in China, which is why it is called Ghost Festival.

2. The writing of tombstone inscriptions is mainly based on the situation of the deceased. For example, the length of the main monument of an art tombstone is not necessarily enough, and there is no main monument. So take the writing of traditional tombstone inscriptions as an example. There are two common inscriptions. One only indicates the identity of the deceased in the tomb, and most of them are set by relatives of the deceased; Another tombstone not only shows the identity of the deceased, but also briefly introduces the life story and merits and demerits of the deceased. This kind of tombstone is also called epitaph.
