When you straighten the tombstone, you respect the ancestors, value the sacrifice, and show great care. This is a very correct thing. It is taboo to allow tombstones to be tilted, and it is a sign of disrespect for the ancestors.
1. The direction of erecting the monument
The erection of the monument should be consistent with the direction of the acupoints. Many friends know the details of Yinzhai Feng Shui. There are 24 mountain directions, and 360 is divided into 24 parts. It is 15 degrees, that is to say, 15 degrees is a mountain direction. If the mountain direction of the monument does not match the mountain direction of the acupuncture points in the cemetery, the difference may be thousands of miles away. The direction of the acupoints is the most critical part of Feng Shui in the Yin House. It cannot be underestimated. It is related to the popularity, health, and career of future generations, and which family is more beneficial to future generations. Remember the direction of Gen in the northeast. Under normal circumstances, do not erect a monument, because the traditional direction of Gen is the ghost gate, so erect it here. The monument is likely to make family members uneasy, has a strong negative energy, and is haunted by ghosts and weird things.
2. Time for erecting monuments
To erect monuments for deceased relatives, you should choose the time period of the 1st anniversary, 3rd anniversary, and 5th anniversary. There are around Qingming Festival in a year, and the 1st day of the 10th day of the lunar calendar. Before and after, or around the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, it is better to choose an auspicious day at the specific time. Do not conflict with the deceased person who set up the monument, so as to avoid bringing disadvantages to your relatives and laying down future troubles.
3. The distance between the tombstone and the tomb
The distance between the tombstone and the tomb should not be too far or too close. It is generally between 9 inches and 6 feet away from the acupoint. Remember, try not to have close contact between tombstones and tombstones. If they are too close, it will easily affect the feng shui effect of the tomb. If they are too far away, tombstones and acupuncture points should not be in contact with each other. The specific distance depends on the construction of tombstones and acupuncture points.
4. The inscription of the tombstone
The inscription mainly consists of the following three parts.
1. Header: The header mainly contains the deceased’s position, occupation, etc., and some can be omitted.
2. Text: Mainly state the title of the deceased and the name of the deceased by the person who erected the monument. For example, "First examine the tomb of Master Wang Junzong."
3. Signing: Indicate the identity and name of the person who erected the monument, and you may or may not write the time when the monument was erected. People with political achievements and merits must also engrave epitaphs. Epitaphs often consist of three parts: title, body and signature. To save trouble, many people carve the names of the living and the dead together. For example, if a couple has passed away, it is not appropriate to carve the names of the living on the tombstone. It is not the same for the living to go to the tombstone and accompany the deceased. A good thing. You can leave the place and wait to fill it up later, or you can wait to erect the monument together later.
