Be careful when carving tombstones and avoid these words.

It is not easy for people to live all their lives, and finally return to dust. If a tomb is built for it, a tombstone is essential. In memory of the dead, we will carve words on the tombstone. Except for the name and birthplace of the deceased, most of them will be engraved with epitaphs to describe the life of the deceased. In cemetery geomantic omen, the cemetery is the gateway to the underworld, and every stroke above involves the good or ill luck of the living, so we need to avoid these words.

1, don't use foul language.

The word "rude" is usually used to describe an uneducated and rude person. Although the word used here is somewhat inappropriate, there are still some similarities. Coarse words are unprocessed words, such as what we often say is oral dog eggs. If carved on a tombstone, it is easy for the viewer to feel the vulgarity of the sculptor. In addition, this is even more disrespectful to the deceased, making his face dull.

Step 2 avoid malicious words

From the perspective of geomantic omen, the lettering on the tombstone should avoid fierce words. Such as extravagant, horizontal, fierce, evil and other words, if future generations see this epitaph, they will not only feel fierce, but also suspect that the life of the deceased is too extremely negative. If this is the case, it may lead to resentment of the deceased due to misunderstanding and he cannot rest in peace.

3. Avoid colloquialism.

The living carve tombstones and write epitaphs in order to pin their feelings for the deceased and respect the deceased. It is disrespectful to the deceased if the vernacular words are engraved on the tombstone. This is because vernacular Chinese can't express the emotions that classical Chinese can express and can't carry heavy feelings. In addition, the vernacular also gives people a casual illusion, perhaps the deceased is not willing to describe his life to such a living person.

We pray for the dead to rest in peace and record their lives with tombstones, instead of misleading future generations with inappropriate words and making them restless.
