What's so important about the old man's tombstone? Tombstones are stone tablets erected by people beside the graves of their deceased relatives. Its purpose is to commemorate their ancestors for future generations, so that future generations can remember their ancestors. Tombstones are very important, so what's so important about old people's tombstones?
The old man's tombstone has fallen down. What's the point of paying attention to 1 becoming independent from Geng Jie instead of following Xi? It was originally the legacy of saints.
Oral culture was formed with the birth of human beings, and has become an important part of China's soft power, including folk songs, folk proverbs and so on. In particular, most of these proverbs are the summary of ordinary people's life experience and the crystallization of wisdom, which are widely circulated in rural areas. It is not only catchy to read, but also contains profound philosophy of life.
In China's traditional concept, ancestor worship is a very important thing. Especially in rural areas where burial is advocated, people attach great importance to ancestral graves and ancestral houses. After the death of the old man, in addition to choosing the right day and time for burial, we must also maintain the grave. In fact, we often see that every year when we go to the grave, someone will come to repair the ancestral grave.
Of course, on the one hand, these are filial piety, on the other hand, because the quality of ancestral graves will be related to the development of the family. Because of this, our predecessors also have a popular saying: "The grave collapses, the descendants are sparse, there is no grass on the grave, and the family property is small." What does this sentence mean? Does it still apply today?
The grave collapses and the descendants are rare.
Literally, if a family's ancestral grave collapses, it indicates that the descendants of this family will be scarce. On the surface, it seems to be a feudal superstition, but there is still some truth. Why do you say that? Because in special festivals such as the Double Ninth Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day, future generations will sweep graves.
In addition to sweeping graves, they will also repair the graves of their ancestors. The simplest thing is to bring a shovel and add some new soil to the grave. If there are no descendants, it means that no one has repaired the grave. I can't see anything for a short time, but after a long time, the grave will naturally collapse. In the latter case, there must be fewer children and grandchildren, otherwise there would be no graves.
There is no grass on the grave and little property.
If the ancestral graves don't grow grass, it means that the wealth of this family is not very strong. From the perspective of geomantic omen, the reason why there is no grass on the grave is that the geomantic omen is not good, and the ancestors have no atmosphere on the grave, so their life is not very good, which is of course not good for future generations. If the grass grows luxuriantly around, it is the right place, and future generations are also very promising.
Another situation is that people often clean the grass on graves when they go to them, which was an unlucky symbol in the past. Because "grass" is "firewood" after drying, and the homonym of "firewood" is "wealth". If you shovel these "firewood", isn't that shoveling "wealth"? From this perspective, "less money" is also normal.
Postscript analysis
I don't think these proverbs are suitable for today's society, if you really want to use Shi Jun's words. Proverbs are more often a summary of ordinary people's life experience, but with the development of society, many things have become "stepping stones" to the progress of the times. Take this sentence for example, there are many reasons for the collapse of graves, such as the accumulation of soil humus. These are all possible.
Of course, it does not mean that nothing should be inherited. For traditional culture, Pin Shi Jun has always emphasized maintaining an attitude: take its essence and discard its dross. We will not hesitate to inherit what is positive for the development of the times; We naturally need to get rid of things that have a negative impact on the development of the times.
What's the point of the old man's tombstone falling down? What are the rules for setting up a monument for 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 a cool and cloudy color, and is also suitable for yin houses. You can't use bright colors. The flat plate has bright colors. Among them, according to the direction (front) of the monument, the south should be gray, not black in the east and southeast.
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.
Monument to intransitive verbs
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.
Seven. 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. But there is no need to stick to the number of words. Furthermore, the font should not be running script or cursive script, but solemn Wei Bei, official script and regular script. In the mountain grave, if the drinking water image (drinking water image refers to the mountain around the cave site is shaped like an animal, such as ant land, centipede land, tiger land, cow land, civet cat land, tiger mountain land, dragon playing pearl, phoenix spreading its wings and so on. Drinking water is a special content in geomantic omen), so it is not appropriate to set up a monument. There should be special content when offering sacrifices, such as tiger land and meat when offering sacrifices.
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.
