What does the monument mean?

The monument is a tomb where the clothes of the dead are buried, not the remains, but the remains of the dead are not buried. This is because the body of the deceased can't be found, or it has been buried in another place, and a monument has been set up here to commemorate it.

Today, there is a very important category of monuments, and that is the sacred base. Hallows are not built after death, but clothes and hair buried by strangers in order to eliminate disasters and pray. The culture of sacred sites has a history of more than 4,000 years in China.

The first kind of monument is a symbolic tomb, which contains the owner's relics. There are also some tombs with no clothes, which are purely symbolic tombs.

Extended data:

According to the size of its primitive, it can be divided into three categories:

First, there can be an independent memorial tablet, called "living position", which is generally set up by benefactors;

Second: choose a place with good feng shui to build a cave house, which is often called "Shengji" and is usually set by your parents and others;

Third, build an independent building, called a "shrine", which is generally set up by ordinary people for honest officials.

Its similarities are all established for the living and gratitude for themselves. The only difference is size. Whether it is "living position", "living base" or "living shrine", later generations are collectively called "living base culture", which is an important part of Chinese culture.
