The black paint on the tombstone has fallen off. How to make up?

Usually the cemetery is equipped with paint for use. Just draw it yourself. In your own cemetery, you need to bring your own red and black pigments (some tablets have gold lettering, so you need to use gold powder paint, and the paint is preferably antirust paint), writing brushes and rags. Before tracing, worship your ancestors to show your respect, then clean and dry the grooves of the words, carefully trace the words on the tablet, and if you accidentally trace them, just wipe them off with a rag immediately.

Traditionally, red is used to represent the living, black is used to represent the dead, and surnames are all red, because the surnames of a family have always existed and been handed down. If you see a person's surname and first name on the tombstone are red, it means that he is still alive. Usually they are old people over 80 years old. Such a cemetery is called Shouxue, which can increase happiness and longevity.
