What are the sizes and formats of tombstones?

There is no certain standard, but folk monuments usually have two dimensions for reference:

1, 100cm high, 60cm wide and 8 cm thick;

2, 50cm high, 80cm wide and 8cm thick.

First, the wooden tablet stands in front of the palace, so it is called "there must be a tablet in the palace." This wooden tablet is used to know the shadow of the sun. From the yin and yang of the shadow of the sun, the seasonal changes can be measured.

The second is to erect a monument in front of the ancient ancestral temple, which is perforated and used to tie sacrificial animals, and bring out blood sacrifices after the gods meet;

Third, ancient stone tablets are tools to lead coffins into burial.

Extended data:

A memorial carrier made by human beings for the burial place of the deceased is generally made of stone, wood, metal and other materials.

In ancient China, the "tomb instead of grave" was just buried underground, and there was no sign on the surface. Later, there was a grave with dirt on the ground and a tombstone.

After death, if you want to build a tomb, most of them must have an epitaph. Epitaphs generally record the name, place of origin, achievements, year of death, name of the person who built the monument and the relationship with the deceased. Writing an inscription should be full of respect and affection for the deceased.
