What's the point of erecting a monument to the elderly?

question 1: what should we pay attention to when laying a monument to our ancestral graves? Principles of geomantic omen in ancestral graves

1. The direction of monument erection

The direction of monument erection should be consistent with that of acupoints. Many friends know the details of geomantic omen in Yin houses. There are 24 mountain directions, and 36 is divided into 24 parts, which is 15 degrees, that is to say, a mountain direction of 15 degrees. If the mountain direction of monument erection is not consistent with that of acupoints in the graveyard, it may lead to a difference of a thousand miles. He is related to the future generations' popularity, health and career, which is more beneficial to future generations. Remember the location of the northeast, and generally don't set up a monument, because the traditional root is a ghost gate, and setting up a monument here is easy for family members to be uneasy, with heavy yin and haunted.

Second, the time for setting up a monument

To set up a monument for the deceased relatives, it is better to choose the first anniversary, the third anniversary and the fifth anniversary, including around Qingming Festival, the first day of the 1th lunar month, and the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year. The specific time should be a good day, so don't rush with the deceased person who set up a monument, so as to avoid bringing disadvantages to relatives and burying future troubles.

Third, the distance between the tombstone and the tomb

The distance between the tombstone and the tomb should not be too far, nor too close. Generally, it is appropriate to be between 9 inches and 6 feet away from the acupuncture point. Remember that the tombstone and the tomb should not touch each other at zero distance as far as possible, which is easy to affect the geomantic effect of the tomb. The extra-long tombstone and the acupuncture point cannot meet each other. The specific distance depends on the construction of tombstones and acupoints.

Fourth, the size and color of the tombstone

The tombstone should be appropriate in size. If the acupoints in the tomb are small and the tombstone is large, it is suspected of being top-heavy. If it is too small, the momentum is not enough. The size of the tombstone is mainly based on the fact that the tomb and the tombstone should be coordinated and unified, and the color of the tombstone should be determined according to the color of the backer. If it is in the northwest to the southeast, because the northwest is golden, it is best to be yellow and white. If it is sitting south to north, the tombstone color is best to choose red and yellow, and so on.

V. Inscription of tombstone

Inscription mainly consists of the following three parts.

1. Look up: Look up mainly to write the post and occupation of the deceased before his death, and some can be omitted.

2. Text: It mainly states the name of the deceased and the name of the deceased. For example, "First test the tomb of Lord Wang Junmane".

3. Inscription: indicate the identity and name of the person who erected the monument, and the time of erection can be written or not. People with political achievements and achievements should also be engraved with epitaphs. Epitaphs often consist of three parts: title, text and inscription. In order to save trouble, many people carve the names of the living and the dead together. For example, if a couple dies, they also carve the living on a tombstone. Teacher Yang thinks that this is not very appropriate. It is always not a good thing for the living to go to the tombstone to accompany the deceased. You can leave a place and make it up later, or you can set up a monument together later.

Pay attention to the geomantic omen of ancestral graves.

1. Choose auspicious days according to the eight characters of the householder, and choose auspicious days according to the specific situation of the yin house, and don't rush and wear with the deceased or the person who erected the monument.

2. In the geomantic omen, every grass, tree or tiny thing in the graveyard is related to good or bad luck. The tombstone is equivalent to the gate of the yin house, which is the throat to absorb the atmosphere of the outside world, so the direction of erecting the monument should not be arbitrary.

3. The height of the monument depends on the pattern on the monument.

4. The material of the monument should be suitable for the direction of Yin House and Feng Shui.

In addition, the cost of erecting a monument can only be paid by children. After the monument is erected, family members should kowtow, burn paper and set off firecrackers in front of the monument to show their respect, and then offer wreaths, flowers, meals, fruits, etc., incense and paper money according to traditional customs. Some places have their own customs, so it is good to follow local customs.

However, when choosing a yin house and erecting a monument, we should strictly follow the requirements of geomantic omen step by step, because the burial ground talks about dragons, caves, sand, water and directions, and there is a saying that "a thousand miles of mountains and rivers have always been in the same direction", which means that even the best geomantic omen, with a little difference in direction, will cause great damage to geomantic omen, so it must be a professional and proficient person to solve it.

Precautions for geomantic omen in ancestral graves

1. The top of the tombstone is sunken or damaged, and the descendants have head injuries or mental disorders.

2. Tombstones are tall and short, and cross the elders. The master and descendants are more laborious and can't be at leisure.

3. If the tombstone is too slender (too long in height and thin in width), the life span of the descendants will be short and unlucky.

4. If the lower part of the tombstone is dim, the kidneys of the descendants are prone to diseases. If the upper part is bright and the lower part is dim, the development of the ancestors will be unfavorable. You have to go out to develop your luck.

5. if the tombstone is weathered and peeled off, the inscription is unclear, and the descendants have eye diseases. It doesn't hurt if only the gold foil peels off.

6. Granite (Tangshan stone) is the best tombstone ... > >

Question 2: What's so important about setting up a monument to the dead old man? Hello! First of all, we must choose a date, generally on Qingming, the fifteenth day of July, the first day of October and the anniversary of the death of the elderly; Secondly, we should put red cloth on the monument before erecting it (this is the custom in our region, and I wonder if there is such a custom in other regions); Then burn incense and paper and kowtow.

Question 3: What's the point of setting up a monument for parents? Pay attention to the inscription on the tombstone, and the size of the words should also match the auspicious numbers on the Lu Banchi. Usually the big characters are 1cm or 1.5cm, and the small characters are between 3cm and 4cm. 1cm into the treasure 1.5cm Nafu. 3cm wealth. 4cm is admitted to the department. The size of these words is in harmony with the proportion of the monument, and it also contains auspicious meaning. The family of the tomb owner can get psychological comfort from it.

The stone used for the tombstone is marble and white marble, which can't stand the wind and rain and is easily weathered. Now it has been replaced by granite series with exquisite materials, brightness and hardness. Among the colorful and solid granites, Indian red, pearl white and Shanxi black are favored by customers. Indian red symbolizes noble, gorgeous and fiery years and brilliant career; Pearl white symbolizes purity, elegance, gorgeous life and endless grief; Shanxi Black symbolizes solemn, dignified, immortal spirit and deep nostalgia.

Tombstones are rich in content. Including geomantic omen, native place, name, identity, date of birth, date of death, descendants, the person who erected the monument, and the date of burial or reburial.

1. Geomantic omen, the left side of the tombstone is called the dragon edge, which is the important part of the monument. Here, we should write the mountain direction, the mountain line and the golden line. For example, "Li Guishan divides the gold into two parts: the direction and the meridian." Its purpose is to inform future generations, that is, in the event of natural disasters, floods or war damage, future generations can still find the original feng shui direction and re-establish the monument according to the feng shui situation on the monument. Ming Kong Zhenyun's "Ming Senior Minister is ruling Shangqing Ministry of War Shangshu Festival": "(Yuan Keli) was buried on December 27 th in Dingchou, Chongzhen, and the tomb was in the south of the county, so he went to visit Erli Xu, that is, the road was built, aiming at the same tunnel!"

2. 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 parts of 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 the tomb when sweeping the sacrifice. Ming Kong Zhenyun's "Ming Senior Minister is ruling Shangqing's Ministry of War Shangshu Festival": "According to the form, the public can stand up, the word is polite, and the nickname is Huan. The ancestors lived in Fengyang, and the ancestors were Rong. At the beginning of the country, they repeatedly strengthened the city and defended 1 households with military exploits, that is, they are now Suiyang Weiye. I moved to Sui and looked forward to it. "

3. Name, written in the center of the tombstone. It's called "winning the list" here. When writing the name of the tomb owner, the number of words is related to the auspicious omen of Feng Shui. In order to respect the elders, many words of respect were added in the past, such as: the father called Kao and Xian Kao, the mother called Cong and Xian Cong, the man added Gong and Fu Jun, and the woman added Jia and Ru Ren. Moreover, the number of words depends on the five words of "life, old age, illness, death and suffering". Among them, it is lucky to fall on the words "life" and "old" of six, seven, eleven, twelve, sixteen and seventeen. It is unlucky to fall on the word "illness" and on the word "death" and "suffering". Therefore, when drawing up the words in the list, try to use the numbers in auspicious format. Such as: "Cheng Xin Jiang She 19th Hao Feng Zheng Doctor Kao Quan Yuan Qiu Fu Jun Jia Cheng", which is 21 words long, just in line with the "life" and is the most auspicious. 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. Twenty-two years of the Republic of China "Henan annals? Suixian interview draft? Mausoleum: Yuan Shangshu can set up a tomb in Wuli, south of the city (Suizhou), and Lixu, south of Luozhuang. The tablet shows that Senior Minister is ruling the tomb of Yuan Jiehuan (Yuan Keli), the minister of war of Shangqing.

4. Date of birth, date of death, written on both sides of the middle list, still according to male left and female right, it is best to write it completely. It is very difficult to find out the date of birth and death of the ancestors every few generations because of the long time and the cancellation of the household registration. Ming Wang Duo's "Prince Shaobao's Ministry of Military Affairs Shangshu Festival Huan yuangong Tombstone": "The emperor ruled the world for seven seasons. On October 11th, Senior Minister's Ministry of Military Affairs Shangshu Festival Huan yuangong (Yuan Keli) finally got home."

5. The people who set up the monument, including children, relatives and friends, and groups, should be written on the tiger side of the monument, that is, on the right side. All the children should be written down, and the deceased children can put boxes around their names. Still according to seniority, arranged from left to right. There are also people who don't want to reveal their names, but they can write that their children respect or knock and worship. Ming Kong Zhenyun's "Epitaph of Ming Senior Minister Zheng Zhi Shang Shu Festival of Shangqing Ministry of War": "Ming Chongzhen was ten years old, and Ding Chou wept for blood and accepted the stone on December 27th".

6. The time of building or rebuilding the tomb is inscribed on the tiger side of the monument. There are many characters in China that record the time, including the AD and the lunar calendar, and most of them write the winter solstice and the Qingming Festival. Years and dates are also mostly dry and dry. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Xin, N, D, and Radix Stephaniae Cirrhosae > >

Question 4: What are the rules for setting up a monument for parents? Tombstones and graves are places where the dead live. Just like Yang houses, if they are damaged, flooded, damp, sunken or invaded by foreign objects, the dead will be uneasy to live, which will have a bad influence on the descendants of Yang. Therefore, it is very important to keep the tombstones and graves intact and quiet, which is why China people visit their ancestors' graves every time in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Tomb-Sweeping Day's tradition of sweeping graves not only shows China people's cautious pursuit of the future and cherishing their ancestors' memory, but also plays another role in keeping their ancestors' graves from being destroyed, trampled or damaged by nature.

1 If the tombstone is damaged or broken, the head injury of Room 1, Room 4 and Room 7 should be the main reason for the upper part damage; If the middle part is damaged, the main treatment should be the disease or operation of the internal organs of the second, fifth and eighth rooms; The lower part of the damaged person should be mainly responsible for foot injuries in rooms three, six and nine.

2 natural stones (uncut stones) should not be used as tombstones, otherwise, children and grandchildren may be cut off from incense or disabled, seriously ill or become adopted children.

3 On the gravestone, overgrown with moss or covered with weeds, kudzu vine grows, which is the reason why the master Sun Jiunian is ill.

4 If the tombstone is dim, the master Sun Yun's journey is not smooth, and the cave is easy to be filled with water.

5. Those whose tombstones fall down and are buried in the soil are those whose families are not harmonious and chaotic, and who are prone to madness (schizophrenia).

6 If there are birds or excrement on the gravestone, clean it up immediately, otherwise future generations will have a headache.

7 If all the tombstones are dark black, Sun Yuncheng, the master, will not be successful, and his career will be hindered, which will be laborious.

8 If the tombstone is broken into two or three pieces, the master grandson is prone to be affected by the blood (the upper part of the tombstone is the head, the middle part is the chest and abdomen, the lower part is the foot, and the back part is the back). If that part is broken, the descendants will be prone to disasters.

9 There are depressions and scars in the tombstone, and the master grandson is prone to back diseases or disabled people.

1 when there are big spots or big flaws on the tombstone, the son and grandson are prone to long-term illness or internal injuries.

11 if the top of the tombstone is sunken or damaged, the descendants have head injuries or mental disorders.

12 Tombstones are tall, short, and cross the elders, so the master and descendants are more laborious and can't be at leisure.

13 if the tombstone is too slender (too long in height and thin in width), the life span of the descendants will be shorter.

14 If the lower part of the tombstone is dim, the kidneys of the descendants are prone to diseases. If the upper part is bright and the lower part is dim, the development of the ancestors will be unfavorable. You have to go out to develop your luck.

15 if the grave is sunken, the Lord will easily hurt his family. Tombstone cracked, the main car accident, bleeding, loss of money.

16 Those who are often trampled into corridors on graves are often bullied and looked down upon by people in society, and their achievements are not high.

17 If the grave is not exposed to sunlight in the shade all the year round, and the cemetery is too dark, the main descendants will be constantly ill or have long-term patients.

18 For those whose graves have been flooded with coffins for many years, their grandsons are prone to cold, rheumatism, soreness, drowning and alcoholism.

19 the trees outside the grave are tall and cover the whole grave, and the descendants have long-term illness.

2 if an ancestor's grave is stolen, but his bones are exposed and bitten by wild dogs, his master and grandson are prone to lotus flower and fierce disaster.

21 if XXX is inserted into the grave (like an arrow penetrating the grave), the master grandson will be prone to lotus flower and fierce disaster (even if XXX is inserted).

22 if the grave is pressed by masonry, old coffin plates or other wastes, the master and grandson are prone to stroke or serious disaster. Cement, masonry, stone, coffin plate and waste should not be piled up in front of, behind and beside the grave (but the disaster is less serious).

23 if there is a tall cemetery or building in front of the grave, the master Sun Yun's journey is not smooth or there is an official lawsuit.

24 Some people bury their ancestors hastily because of war or poverty, and those who have no monument or grave, their descendants are adrift, toiling and poor, and have no success

25 The front of the grave sags and collapses, and their feet are cut off, which makes the grave in danger of being tortured or crumbling, and their descendants are in danger of lotus flower, surgery, car accident, slip or falling from a building.

26 when cutting trees in the cemetery, if the trees older than the bereaved family are cut from the roots, the family members will suffer from acute diseases (trees over 3 years old are the worst). It doesn't hurt to cut off the branches and finely divide them (it's only good to cut off the whole tree in dozens of times slowly or leave the tree alone).

27 If the whole grave is sealed with cement (impervious to rustic atmosphere), the father and son will be separated (the son will be separated or die).

28 if the grave is robbed by the wind and the ground, broken and broken, and bitten by snakes, rats and termites, the master and descendants are not virtuous and aggressive, but have vendetta and imprisonment.

29 The drainage outlet of the internal course of the grave is too large, which leads to accumulation of wealth and bladder disease. The drainage hole is blocked, such as ear disease, eye disease and vulva disease.

3 If there are big trees near the grave, it is easy for the roots to wear coffins and wrap around the corpse. The master and grandson are easy to suffer from illness, official misconduct and disobedience, and of course, they must have good luck and bad luck according to the species of trees.
