The best practices for ancestral graves for future generations are as follows:
1. Choose an auspicious day. In Feng Shui, it is very important to choose an auspicious day to build ancestral graves. Usually, the few days before and after Qingming Festival are considered to be a good time to carry out tomb repair work, because during this period, Yang Qi is strong and Yin Qi is weakened, which is conducive to the condensation of earth Qi.
2. Maintain the integrity of the cemetery environment. The purpose of repairing ancestral tombs is to repair damaged tombstones and cemeteries and restore them to their original dignity and harmony. During the process of building a tomb, avoid over-excavating the soil to avoid damaging the ground veins. At the same time, if problems such as collapse or cracks are found around the cemetery, they should be repaired in time to ensure the overall beauty and comfortable environment of the cemetery.
3. Appropriately adjust the location of ancestral graves. If the original location of the ancestral grave is no longer suitable due to terrain changes, appropriate adjustments can be considered. However, it should be noted that those whose new graves are less than one year old should not undergo large-scale relocation or modification, so as not to affect the stability of the home and family fortune.
4. The importance of erecting monuments. Tombstones are not only witnesses of family history, but also the source of family luck. Certain Feng Shui principles should be followed when erecting monuments, such as choosing the appropriate orientation, size and shape. At the same time, the text on the tombstone should be concise and clear to help future generations understand the family's history and cultural heritage.
5. Pay attention to the material and maintenance of tombstones. The material and condition of the tombstone will also affect the fortune of future generations. The ideal material is granite, and moss, weeds, etc. on the tombstone should be cleaned up in time. Keeping tombstones clean and intact is important to maintaining the family's luck.
6. Respect the principles of Feng Shui. When making repairs, Feng Shui principles should be respected, such as the orientation and location of tombstones. If you do not understand Feng Shui, you should not change the orientation of the tombstone at will. It is best to ask a professional Feng Shui master for guidance.
