Feng Shui: The left side of the tombstone is called Dragon Edge, which is an important part of the tombstone. Write mountain direction, mountain line and gold thread here. For example, "Li Guishan divides gold into two parts: direction and meridian." Its purpose is to inform future generations that in the event of natural disasters, floods or war damage, future generations can still find the original feng shui direction and rebuild the monument according to the feng shui situation on the monument. Native place: in cemeteries with a large number of immigrants, especially those who died in other places, the names of the provinces, cities and counties of origin should be engraved in the most conspicuous places at the left and right corners of the tombstone, and some only engrave the names of regions and villages. This is a nostalgia for hometown, and it also provides convenience for future generations and relatives and friends to find graves when they visit graves for sacrifice. Name: written in the center of the tombstone. This is called "winning the list". When writing the name of the tomb owner, the number of words is related to the good omen of Feng Shui. In order to show respect for elders, many honorifics were added in the past, such as: father called Kao and Xiankao, mother called Cong and Xiancong, male added Gong and Jun Fu, and female added Jia and Ru. Moreover, the number of words depends on the five words "birth and death".
Among them, it is lucky to fall on the words "longevity" and "old" of six, seven, eleven, twelve, sixteen and seventeen. It is unlucky to fall on the word "illness" or "death" or "suffering". Therefore, when drawing up the words in the table, try to use the numbers in auspicious format. If the names of husband and wife are written on the tablet, they will be arranged in the order of left respect and right inferiority, male left and female right. "Date of birth, date of death: written on both sides of the list, or according to the male left and female right, it is best to write it completely on the date of birth. It is very difficult to find out the date of birth and death of ancestors every few generations because of the long time and the cancellation of household registration.
