How to write an epitaph?

When we build a grave for our relatives, we should write it on the right side of the tombstone, not on it. Usually we write in small print at two thirds of the tombstone. Second, the text is the name of the owner of the tomb. If it is a husband and wife, the names should be written side by side, the man on the right and the woman on the left. The number of words should be singular, and the "Shouyu" in the middle is twice as many as other words. Third, the signature office refers to the person who built the cemetery, that is, the investor, and should also write the names of his children and grandchildren, such as Sun Moumou, Xiao, Xiao, etc. Leave a space before the word "Zun", and omit the surname before the name of the descendant, but if the grandson has a different surname, write his surname. The inscription is written in the left two thirds, and the font size is generally the same as the date. Fourth, the number of words in the inscription is limited. The total number of words in the inscription, including time characters, must be five times one, that is, 265,438+0,365,438+0,36 words. Then the words "old, sick, dead" or "indigenous fire in Jin Mu" should correspond to each other. The first word and the last word must be "destiny" or "gold", which refers to the words carved on the vertical stone. This kind of writing is specially made for carving tablets. Although some articles are engraved on the tablet, they are not written for the purpose of setting up a tablet, so they cannot be called inscriptions. Inscription is a kind of writing genre, inscription and order. When setting a topic, it depends on what forms are included, either directly taking a tablet as the topic, or taking the inscription as the topic, or taking the parallel order of the inscription as the topic. There is no fixed format, and some do not write inscriptions and other words, but only write the title of the article.
