Question 1: What is the importance of worshiping the platform in front of the tombstone during Qingming Festival? 1. When building soil for the tomb, do not take soil randomly. When people offer sacrifices during the Qingming Festival, they often add some new soil to the tombs, which means to "repair the house" for their ancestors to prevent the tombs from being damaged by thin soil and suffering from summer rains, etc. However, from the perspective of Zhouyi Feng Shui, soil should generally not be taken from the following directions when building soil for a tomb: First, it is not appropriate to take soil from the Tai Sui direction. For example, in the year of Guisi in 2013, the southeast direction is the Tai Sui direction of that year. Therefore, it is not suitable to collect soil in the southeast direction of the tomb, otherwise, disturbing the earth on Tai Sui's head may lead to unexpected disasters; secondly, it is not suitable to collect soil in the direction opposite to the head of the tomb owner. Moving earth on the head of the ancestor is not only a great sign of honor to the ancestor. In addition to being disrespectful, the consequences are also like breaking earth on Tai Sui's head; thirdly, it is generally not suitable to collect earth in the northwest of the tomb. The reason is that the northwest is the Qian hexagram in the Zhouyi Bagua. On the one hand, it is a symbol of heaven; on the other hand, it is a symbol of heaven. It also symbolizes that the ancestors of the tomb owner are also the ancestors of the ancestors. Not breaking ground here reflects the reverence for God and ancestors. 2. The old, young, sick and weak should be cautious when participating in tomb sweeping. Generally speaking, older and frail people, children under three years old, pregnant women, people who are seriously ill, and people with weak willpower should not participate in the Qingming Festival sacrificial activities. Qingming Festival, the Ghost Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and the Winter Clothes Festival on the first day of the tenth lunar month are also known as the three major ghost festivals in China. In the numerology of the Book of Changes, "ghost" is also known as "official ghost" and "official killing", which actually refers to things that suppress the "self". Generally speaking, those who are strong and prosperous like to be suppressed, and they have the title of controlling the master because of their prosperity. Profit and wealth; those who are weak should avoid it. Those who are weak will be affected by diseases and ruins, which will produce a certain amount of negative energy. Relatively speaking, the elderly, young children, patients, pregnant women and other people with relatively weak physiques or poor psychological quality will be infected with negative energy and suffer from diseases if they visit the cemetery to offer sacrifices and are attacked by an unfavorable aura. thing. 3. Grave sweepers should not take photos in the cemetery. According to the Feng Shui theory of all things, cemeteries reveal to people negative energy fields such as the passing, dying, sadness, and negativity. If you randomly take photos in a cemetery, these negative energies that have nothing to do with you will be difficult to get rid of because they appear in the same photo with you, and you will often be moved by the scene every time you browse these photos. , wandering thoughts, and ultimately may produce pessimistic thoughts, feelings of loss, etc. due to the long-term erosion of these negative energies, which will affect your work and life over time.

It is also a custom, but its origin is unknown. Every Qingming Festival, there will be many people selling paper money and ghost coins in the streets and alleys.

The color of the ghost coins imitates RMB 100 yuan, printed with complicated patterns, and has the so-called The avatar of Lord Yama has the words "issuance unit" Paradise Bank. Like banknotes, Hades coins also have different denominations, all with huge denominations, ranging from tens of thousands to several billions.

People are dying After the burial, the next most important task is to erect a monument. Generally speaking, erecting tombstones is the focus of building a tomb, and erecting a tombstone is also the first step in building a tomb. Since the Chinese believe in Feng Shui, there has been a traditional saying in Feng Shui that "take the monument as the direction", that is, the shape of the monument and the direction of the center line determine good or bad luck; therefore, in traditional tomb-building projects, erecting monuments cannot be done anytime and anywhere. of. The date and time for erecting a tombstone must be based on the auspicious directions in Feng Shui. According to past customs, the day and hour of groundbreaking for the tomb building work will not be too close to the burial day (unless it is specially processed). This is for Let the rain bind the soil so that the stone will not dent easily.
Objectively, since this is an important step in explaining the identity of the deceased, the Feng Shui arrangements are also extremely cautious. Feng Shui masters and their families will not erect a monument immediately after the ancestor is buried. In addition to considering the color and orientation of the monument based on Feng Shui, they may also give everyone a period of time to consider the words and good or bad meanings of the inscription before erecting the monument. Therefore, choosing the day and time is not only a need for Feng Shui, but also gives everyone enough time to think about the content of the inscription.
The tombstones of Chinese from Fujian and Guangdong provinces have a set of traditional rules and a specific basic format for their inscriptions. The inscription must fully describe the deceased’s name, place of origin, identity, descendants, and date of burial or replacement of the tombstone. Since Feng Shui was chosen for the benefit of future generations when building tombs and monuments, the Feng Shui situation must also be explained clearly by erecting monuments.
