Standard writing method of tombstone

First of all, the famous monument

The front of the tombstone is marked with the name of the person in the tomb, the person who erected the monument and the time when it was erected. Most of these monuments were erected by the descendants of the deceased. There are also students who set up tombstones for teachers, sons-in-law for parents-in-law, husbands for wives, wives for husbands and friends for tombstones.

Second, briefly introduce the life of the deceased engraved on the tombstone.

Epitaphs are small, mostly square, engraved with stones, and stamped with epitaphs written by officials and someone, called "book covers". With the "print" and "book cover", there is no need to engrave the title before the inscription and inscription. Of course, it is not absolutely impossible to carve the first line into the title. If it is a couple's tomb, the title of the book does not write the woman's name. Only in inches, buried with his wife.

Epitaph is a kind of stone carving, which contains the biography of the deceased stored in the tomb. It condenses the housekeeping, virtue, knowledge, skills, achievements and merits of the deceased into a personal historical file to make up for the shortcomings of family history, local chronicles and even national history.
