Standard writing method for tombstones
Standard writing method for tombstones. The tombstones are usually engraved with the deceased’s name, place of origin, achievements, date of death, the name of the person who set up the monument and their relationship with the deceased. However, most people do not have much understanding of the standard writing method of tombstones. Now I will introduce the standard writing method of tombstones in detail. Standard way of writing tombstones
1. Named stele. The front of the tombstone bears the name of the person in the tomb, the person who erected the tombstone and the time when the tombstone was erected. Most of these monuments were erected by the descendants of the deceased. There are also students who set up tombstones for their teachers, sons-in-law for their father-in-law and mother-in-law, husbands for their wives, wives for their husbands, and friends.
2. Introduction The tombstone epitaphs with inscriptions on the life of the deceased are small, mostly square, carved with stone and covered with the epitaph of a certain official or someone, which is called a "book cover". With the "seal forehead" and "book cover", there is no need to carve titles in front of the inscriptions and epigraphs. Of course, it’s not absolutely impossible to engrave the first line as a title. If a couple is buried together in a tomb, the woman’s name will not be written in the title, but it will be stated in the inscription that they were buried together with his wife. An epitaph is a stone inscription stored in a tomb that contains the biography of the deceased. It condenses the deceased's family history, virtue, knowledge, skills, political achievements, achievements, etc. into a personal historical file to make up for the shortcomings of family history, local chronicles and even national history.

1. The material and color of the tombstone
The material of the tombstone is based on Granite is the best. The granite has a balanced texture and a slightly reddish beige color. It is the best stone. There are also some high-end stones, etc., but expensive is not necessarily good.
Generally speaking, the material of the tombstone should be hard in texture, with balanced texture and free of impurities, which is the best tombstone stone.
Because the stone itself contains the five elements of soil, which are the most indispensable five elements for tombs. It is worth mentioning that wooden tombstones have no problem with the five elements, but the wood is easily damaged and is not suitable for use as tombstones.
The color of the tombstone can be the same as that of the entire tomb, but the most common ones are black, white, or gray. Such tombstones have the most stable feng shui.
2. There should not be a big tree in front of the tombstone.
If there is a relatively thick tree in front of the tombstone, it will hinder the flow of luck just like a tree in front of the house, resulting in Luck cannot enter the home and bring good Feng Shui.
The same is true for cemeteries. There are trees in front of the tombstones, which will prevent the tomb from maintaining the flow of luck. Moreover, Feng Shui believes that if there is a big tree next to a tombstone, the tree roots are likely to penetrate the coffin and entangle the corpse, and the descendants of the owner are likely to suffer from illness, official misconduct, and disobedience.
When cutting off trees next to a tombstone, if a tree older than the bereaved family is cut off directly from the root, the family will suffer from an acute illness (trees over thirty years old are the most dangerous).
It is okay to cut off the branches and chop them into small pieces (it is best to cut off the entire tree slowly and in a dozen times or leave the tree alone).
3. The tombstone should be complete
It is not advisable to have tombstones. Incomplete tombstones will lead to unstable feng shui of the tomb and easily affect future generations.
Feng Shui believes that if the tombstone is cracked or broken, it will cause many diseases in future generations, and the life span of the person will also be affected, and there will be financial losses.
If the tombstone is damaged or cracked, damage to the upper part will mainly cause head injuries in rooms 1, 4, and 7.
If the middle part is damaged, it mainly deals with diseases of the second, fifth, and eighth chambers, internal organs, or surgery.
Those whose lower parts are damaged should suffer from foot injuries in the third, sixth and ninth chambers.
4. There should not be high mountains in front of the tombstone.
In Feng Shui, the geomantic treasure land should be surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side. In particular, the mountains behind it must be tall and straight. This is "Having a backer" in Feng Shui means not having no one to rely on.
That is to say, the tomb should have its back to the mountain rather than a mountain in front of the tombstone, otherwise the feng shui will be reversed.
5. It is not suitable to use uncut stones as tombstones
It is not suitable to use natural stones, that is, uncut stones, as tombstones, otherwise descendants may easily lose their incense or become disabled. It is unlucky to be seriously ill or to have an adopted son.
6. There should not be fast-flowing rivers in front of tombstones
Having a river passing by the Mingtang is an excellent Feng Shui environment, but the prerequisite is that the flow speed of the river should not be too fast, otherwise Otherwise, the flow of luck will be too rapid and it will be impossible to form a stable Feng Shui pattern.
It’s like there can be a road in front of your house, but if the traffic on the road keeps sounding all day and night, it will inevitably affect your family’s fortune.
Feng Shui taboos on tombstones
1. Moss and old white moss grow on the middle and lower sections of the tombstone. Water enters the main coffin, which can easily cover the corpse. If there are stains, black spots or a dull color on the tombstone, it is not good for the descendants and will lead to more diseases.
2. If the tombstone is dim in color, the owner’s descendants will have bad luck, and the coffin may be filled with water in the cave.
3. If the lower half of the tombstone is dark, the descendants of the deceased are likely to have kidney disease. If the upper half is bright and the lower half is dim, the descendants of the owner will not develop well in the ancestral home. You have to go out to have development opportunities. 4. If there is bird droppings on the tombstone, it should be cleaned up immediately, otherwise the descendants will have headaches.
5. If all the tombstones turn dark black, the fortune of the master’s descendants will not be smooth, and the career will encounter obstacles, which will make them work hard.
6. If the tombstone is broken into two or three pieces, the descendants of the owner are likely to be restrained by a large amount of blood (the upper section of the tombstone is the head, the middle section is the chest and abdomen, the lower section is the feet, and the back is the back). If any part breaks, there will be disaster.
7. If bamboo poles or wooden sticks are inserted into the tomb (like an arrow piercing the tomb), the owner's descendants are likely to suffer from bloodshed and disaster (those who insert it will also have bad retribution).
8. When there are large spots or flaws on the tombstone, the descendants of the owner are likely to suffer from long-term illnesses.
9. If the tomb has been flooded for many years, the descendants of the owner are likely to suffer from wind-cold, rheumatism, soreness, drowning, and people who like to drink and eat.
10. If there are dents or scars inside the tombstone, the descendants of the owner are likely to have back problems or be disabled.
11. If the tombstone is too slender (high, too long, horizontally thin), it will be unlucky for the owner’s descendants to have a shorter life span.
12. If the tombstone is overturned or buried in the soil, the descendants of the family will be discordant and chaotic, and may be prone to madness (schizophrenia).
13. If the tomb (grave turtle) is sunken, it will hurt women. Those with lacerations behind the tomb mainly injured the elderly and women. The handrail of the tomb was torn, mainly injuring the child. A cracked tombstone indicates a car accident, bloodshed, and loss of property.
14. Those whose graves are often trampled into corridors are often bullied and looked down upon by others in society, and their achievements are not high.
15. If the grave is not exposed to sunlight all year round and is too dark, the descendants of the owner will be sick frequently or have long-term patients.
16. If the tombstone is tall, short and horizontal, the descendants of the owner will be more hard-working and have no leisure time.
17. If the trees outside the tomb are tall and cover the entire cemetery, it means that the descendants of the owner have been chronically ill.
18. If the tombs of ancestors are stolen and the bones are exposed and chewed and displaced by wild dogs, the descendants of the owner are likely to suffer bloody disasters.
19. If the top of the tombstone is dented or damaged, the descendant of the tombstone has a head injury or mental disorder. 20. If the tombstone is weathered and peeled off, making the inscription unclear, the descendants of the owner will suffer from eye diseases. It doesn't matter if only the gold foil peels off.
21. If the tombstone is bright and clean, the owner will have smooth descendants and good fortune (with dragon patterns, wishful thinking, patterns, etc., auspicious patterns are better).
22. If the tombstone is overgrown with moss or covered by weeds or covered with kudzu, it means that the descendants will be able to overcome chronic diseases.
Tombstone Orientation and Feng Shui
1. Tombstone Orientation
It is generally believed that as long as the tombstone is facing the direction of the grave, it is fine. This is wrong. Feng shui requires that the direction of the tombstone must be consistent with the direction of the hole.
Yin Zhai Feng Shui is divided into twenty-four mountain directions, so when erecting a monument, you must be precise to ensure that it is consistent with the mountain direction of the acupoints. A slight deviation will cause the mountain direction of the monument to be inconsistent with the mountain direction of the acupoints.
The orientation of the tomb is the most critical part of the feng shui of the Yin Mansion. It is related to the health, career, luck and other aspects of future generations, so you must not make a mistake.
2. Tombstones should face east
Cemetery feng shui pays attention to Qi, one is the wind, and the other is anger and vitality. Only places that face the sun and have sunshine will have a harmony of yin and yang. Since ancient times, the east has meant hope, the direction of purple energy coming from the east, and vitality.
3. Tombstones should not face west.
In Feng Shui, the west is the position of the white tiger. Dong's "Customs and Customs" records: "If a tiger is painted on the door, ghosts will not dare to enter." "Tiger is a masculine object and the leader of all beasts. It can hold, sharpen, sharpen, and eat ghosts."
It means that the tiger is the leader of all beasts. It is powerful and has the ability to subdue ghosts. It is a yang divine beast. We all know that cemeteries are yin, and yin and yang are in conflict with each other, so they naturally cannot hide wind and gather energy.
4. Tombstones should not face north.
Tombstones should not face north. If the sunlight cannot reach the north, the family fortune will not be prosperous. In China, there are often wind, sand, rain and snow in the north, and graves facing north are prone to erosion. At the same time, it also means letting the deceased drink the northwest wind, so this is a taboo.
5. The best Feng Shui is to choose according to the environment
Generally speaking, the southeast is the direction you can choose. Of course, the most important ones are based on the terrain, mountain passes, wind direction and sunshine. Make a choice based on comprehensive consideration of factors such as the deceased's fate, etc.
