What are the concerns and taboos about setting up a monument for the deceased old man? Many people in China will choose to erect a monument to their deceased ancestors in Tomb-Sweeping Day. In the countryside, this is no small matter. A monument to the dead is a sign of filial piety. I hope that in a few years, the younger generation will know where they come from. So what are the concerns and taboos about setting up a monument to the deceased old man? Let's take a look.
What are the concerns and taboos about setting up a monument for the deceased old man? 1 first, the direction of the monument.
The erection direction of the monument should be consistent with the direction of the acupuncture points. Many friends know the details of Yin House Feng Shui. There are 24 mountain directions in the vertical direction, and 360 divided into 24 parts is 15 degrees, which means that 15 degrees is a mountain direction.
If the mountain direction of the monument does not match that of the acupuncture points in the cemetery, it may cause a difference of one mile, and the orientation of the acupuncture points is the most critical link in the geomantic omen of the yin house, which should not be underestimated. He is related to the popularity, health and career of future generations, and is more beneficial to future generations.
Remember the location of the northeast, generally don't set up a monument, because the traditional root is the gate of hell, and setting up a monument here is easy to make family members uneasy, with heavy yin and haunted strange things.
Second, the time to build the monument.
Monuments to deceased relatives should be erected during 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. There should be around Tomb-Sweeping Day, at the beginning of the lunar calendar 1, at the end of the twelfth lunar month. The specific time should be chosen on an auspicious day, and don't conflict with the monument of the deceased, so as not to bring disadvantages to relatives and bury future troubles.
Third, the distance between the tombstone and the grave.
The distance between the tombstone and the tomb should not be too far or too close, usually between 9 inches and 6 feet from the acupoint. Remember that the tombstone and the grave should not touch each other at zero distance as far as possible, which will easily affect the feng shui effect of the grave. Tombstones and acupoints cannot intersect.
The specific distance depends on the structure of tombstones and acupoints.
Fourth, the inscription on the tombstone.
The inscription is mainly composed of the following three parts.
1, Head-up: Head-up mainly describes the post and occupation of the deceased before his death, and some can be omitted.
2. Text: mainly state the name of the deceased and the name of the deceased by the monument builder. For example, "First test the main tomb of Wang Junma".
3. Inscription: indicate the identity and name of the person who set up the monument, and the time of setting up the monument can be written or not. People with political achievements should also be engraved with epitaphs. Epitaphs often consist of three parts: title, text and inscription.
In order to save trouble, many people carve the names of the living and the dead together. For example, if a couple dies, the living should not be carved on a tombstone. It is never a good thing for the living to accompany the dead. You can leave a place, make it up later, or set up a monument together later.
What are the stresses and taboos of setting up a monument for the deceased old man? 2. Qualifications and conditions of the person to be erected:
1, Age of the person to be erected: Yang Shou must be over 60 years old. If he is under 60 years old, he cannot burn incense and is not qualified to erect a monument;
2. There is no single grave for erecting a monument: if a man does not leave his mother, his father must have his mother, which means that one of the husband and wife dies and the other one cannot erect a monument while he is alive.
Some of them have already been established, so it's best not to engrave the name of the party or paint it with red paint.
3. Don't erect a monument after three years: Generally speaking, according to the calculation of those who died later, a monument will be erected after three years. Some people set up a monument to their ancestors on the third anniversary. Also have a plenty of ancestors after three years, Tomb-Sweeping Day or the Mid-Autumn Festival on October 1st of the lunar calendar.
Second, future generations should first discuss matters that need to be clarified:
It is a symbol of family unity and harmony for future generations to build monuments to their ancestors, because it involves some complicated details, such as: what specifications of monuments should be built? How many generations have the names of future generations been written? Do you want your daughter, son-in-law and grandson to inscribe?
Do divorced, remarried and deceased people need inscriptions? Is the fee calculated according to the house allocation of a generation or according to the list of all adults?
If there is no contradiction between a big family, everything is easy to discuss;
If the family has a large population, brothers and sisters are at odds, and there are so many screws, it is difficult to coordinate and it is also a very troublesome thing.
What are the concerns and taboos about setting up a monument for the deceased old man? 3. Establish the inscription format of the monument for the elderly.
The son erected a monument to his father-
Father Kao Mou (surname) and Gong Moumou (name) Tomb Part II: Male Moumou paid a memorial service on a certain day in a certain year.
The son erected a monument to his mother-
The tomb of a man (husband's surname), a man (own surname) and a man (name). The following passage: A certain man respects him very much.
Date, year and month
Common today' is: my father's tomb, and the next paragraph is: my son, a certain year, a certain month, a certain day.
The following passage comes from my mother's grave: My son, on a certain day of a certain year.
If you have grandchildren, arrange them in order. Generally speaking, daughters, granddaughters and other women are not allowed to go to the monument. Note: the monument builder can't put his surname before his name.
Then there is the casual kind, regardless of anything, writing inscriptions in their own way, such as engraving his (her) life, date of birth and death and so on.
Pay attention to setting up a monument to the elderly.
First, choose a day shift.
Choose an auspicious time according to the mountain where the monument is erected.
If a monument is erected in Tomb-Sweeping Day, it should be erected in the first week and the second half of Tomb-Sweeping Day. If you set up a monument at another time, you must choose the right time. Why didn't you choose the exact time to erect the tombstone before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day?
There are two periods in a year to choose the date of feng shui. At one time, before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, all matters about burying haunted houses, such as adding soil, erecting monuments and planting trees, were not taboo, which is why people concentrated all matters about burying haunted houses in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Second, the positioning is reasonable.
This operation is very professional, and it needs to be accurately positioned with a compass according to the position of running water, the height of terrain and the position of pits and ponds.
Third, the texture and color of the flat surface.
The stone tablet is the best material and has long weathering resistance. The color of the tablet surface should be black or gray, which has a dignified feeling and is cold and turbid, and is also suitable for yin houses. You can't use bright colors. Flat plates have bright colors and dirty colors.
Among them, according to the direction (front) of the monument, the south should be gray but not black, and the east and southeast should be black but not gray.
Fourth, the size and shape of the stone tablet.
It shouldn't be too high or too short. Generally it should not be too low, but the abdomen is too high and the neck is too high. Not as high as possible. Most people's tombs are not too big. Unlike the tombs of emperors, tall monuments stand in front of caves, which puts pressure on the tombs and affects the future of future generations.
Tombstone shape, rectangular, regular, not too narrow or too wide. If the tombstone is short and wide, people will be short and fat.
Fifth, the location of the tombstone.
Tombstones stand at the head and foot of the coffin. Standing at the head of the coffin, known as the Yinbei, is beneficial to Ding Yansi, and standing at the foot of the coffin is beneficial to family wealth.
However, it should be noted that the distance between the tombstone and the grave should not be pressed to the coffin, but to the head of the coffin. Later head diseases, such as headache, stupidity and mental illness, will be crushed to the foot of the coffin, and later people will get foot diseases and leg diseases. In addition, the foundation of the tombstone should be solid to prevent the tombstone from tilting due to soft subsidence in the future, otherwise it will be violently dismissed from office and left home, and future generations will walk askew.
Sixth, the monument.
Generally, tombstones have stone seats. After the rammed foundation is in place, the pedestal can be erected. If there is an incense table, it must be placed in front of the memorial tablet. Never use the incense table as a memorial tablet. If you put the tombstone on the incense table, you will fail.
Seventh, the inscription
Stone tablets are generally engraved with the name of the tomb owner, the name of the person who set up the monument (usually descendants), the date of setting up the monument, and so on. Stone tablets must be carved in a concave way, not in a convex way.
Secondly, the number of words should be over the ecliptic. The ecliptic originated from Taoism in Zhang Ling coincides with the date of 12. According to calculation, the single digits of the total number of words are 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9. It's better to cross the white road. According to calculation, the single digits of the total number of words are 1, 2, 6, 7.
After the tombstone is erected, pay attention to protection. If it is skewed, it should be corrected. If you drop it, clean it. If it breaks, it should be repaired or replaced. According to Feng Shui, tombstones are related to the good or bad of the whole family, such as cracking, early illness on the top or upper part of the tombstone, disaster in the boss on the left side of the tombstone, and injured women on the back of the tombstone. Although you can't believe it all, you should be careful.
