What are the components of the family god memorial tablet?

The component of the memorial tablet of the family god consists of five parts: hall number, shrine, church couplet, shrine and newspaper. The writing requirement of "Tang Hao" must be regular script, and running script and cursive script are not allowed. Read and write horizontally from right to left. "Hall number" must be recorded according to the family tree, and it is not allowed to be named at will. "Hall number" must be written in black on a red background or yellow on a black background, and white, blue, green and other colors are not allowed. The size of the paper or plaque is two feet four inches wide and four feet five inches long.

The writing requirements of "Divine Position" are more specific, standardized and strict, with five taboos and five prohibitions. The five taboos are: write "Tian", ask "one is not too big", and avoid two horizontal lines; Writing "land" requires "the land is not separated", and it is forbidden to separate the soil; When writing "Jun", it is required to seal the taboo "Jun doesn't keep his mouth shut" and rewrite it as "Lord" or "country" at will to avoid ambiguity.

"Sacrifice the throne of my ancestor Taishang Laojun" (this is the way for local teachers to sacrifice the tablet of Taishang Laojun).

Divine couplets:

Baoding is fragrant and colorful, and the silver platform has been reported frequently.

A thousand years' fragrance withers for a long time, and a thousand generations' smoke grows.

The country is rich and rich, and Zude Zonggong is the teacher.

Yes, far-reaching. His son is filial to his grandson.
