Does the size of the tombstone matter?
The size of the tombstone is limited by traditional beliefs in Feng Shui, and it should be auspicious. You can use the "Feng Shui Ruler" to make a decision. In the south, there is a "Ding Lan Ruler" to determine good or bad luck. One foot of Ding Lan's ruler is about 38.1cm. Divide one foot into ten grids and write one word on it, namely wealth, loss, prosperity, death, official, righteousness, bitterness, harm and Ding. Among them, Cai, Xing, Guan, Yi, Wang and Ding are auspicious characters and can be selected according to the scale. As for other unlucky things like loss, death, suffering, and harm, try to avoid them. Today, "Luban Ruler" is widely used in civil engineering, especially when making ancient wood furniture, and is even more followed by carpenters. The Luban ruler is divided into two levels: upper and lower. The upper part is used for the yang house and the lower part is used for the yin house. In every centimeter of the long tape measure, there is good and bad luck in Feng Shui. In today's cemeteries, Luban rulers are used in the design and construction, and great emphasis is placed on the auspicious numbers. For example, the size of a tombstone is usually 100cm high, 60cm wide and 8cm thick for an upright tombstone; 55cm or 50cm high for a lying tombstone, 80cm wide and 8cm thick. On the Luban ruler, it shows 100cm windfall and Shunke. 60cm brings treasure and windfall. 80cm Tiande. 55cm is good luck. 50cm brings treasure and happiness. 80cm, wealthy and younger brother. The size of the inscriptions engraved on the tombstone should also match the auspicious numbers on the Luban ruler. Usually large characters are 10cm or 10.5cm, and small characters are between 3cm or 4cm. 10cm into the treasure. 10.5cm Nafu. 3cm means prosperity. 4cm passed the test. The size of these words is in harmony with the proportion of the stele, and they also imply auspiciousness. The family members of the tomb owner can get psychological comfort from this.

What should we pay attention to when erecting a monument for our ancestors’ tombs?
Principles of feng shui for erecting monuments in ancestral tombs
1. Direction of erecting monuments
The direction of erecting monuments should be consistent with the direction of the acupoints. Many friends know the details of feng shui in Yinzhai. , there are 24 mountain directions, and 360 is divided into 24 parts to equal 15 degrees, which means that 15 degrees is a mountain direction. If the mountain direction of the monument does not match the mountain direction of the cemetery acupuncture point, the difference may be thousands of miles away. , the direction of acupuncture points is the most critical link in Yin Zhai Feng Shui, which cannot be underestimated. It is related to the popularity, health, and career of future generations, and which family is more beneficial to future generations. Remember the direction of Gen in the northeast. Under normal circumstances, do not erect a monument, because the traditional direction of Gen is the ghost gate, so erect it here. The monument is likely to make family members uneasy, has a strong negative energy, and is haunted by ghosts and weird things.
2. Time for erecting monuments
When erecting monuments for deceased relatives, you should choose the time period of the 1st anniversary, 3rd anniversary, and 5th anniversary. There are around Qingming Festival in a year, and the 1st day of the 10th day of the lunar calendar. Before and after, or around the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, it is better to choose a good and auspicious day for the specific time. Do not conflict with the deceased person who set up the monument, so as to avoid bringing disadvantages to your relatives and laying down future troubles.
3. The distance between the tombstone and the tomb
The distance between the tombstone and the tomb should not be too far or too close. It is generally between 9 inches and 6 feet away from the acupuncture point. Remember, try not to have close contact between tombstones and tombstones. If they are too close, it will easily affect the feng shui effect of the tomb. If they are too far away, tombstones and acupuncture points should not be in contact with each other. The specific distance depends on the construction of tombstones and acupuncture points.
4. The size and color of the tombstone
The tombstone should be of an appropriate size. If the acupoints on the tomb are small and the tombstone is large, it will be top-heavy. If it is too small, the momentum will not be enough. . The size of the tombstone is mainly based on the coordination of the tomb and the tombstone. The color of the tombstone should be determined according to the color of the background. If it is from the northwest to the southeast, because the northwest is gold, yellow and white are best. If it is from the south, In the north, the best colors for tombstones are red and yellow, and so on.
5. The inscription of the tombstone
The inscription mainly consists of the following three parts.
1. Header: The header mainly contains the deceased’s post, occupation, etc., and some can be omitted.
2. Text: Mainly state the title of the deceased and the name of the deceased by the person who erected the monument. For example, "First examine the tomb of Master Wang Junzong."
3. Signing: Indicate the identity and name of the person who erected the monument, and you may or may not write the time when the monument was erected. People with political achievements and merits must also engrave epitaphs. Epitaphs often consist of three parts: title, body and signature. To save trouble, many people carve the names of the living and the dead together. For example, if a couple has a deceased person, they also carve the names of the living on the tombstone. Teacher Yang believes that this is not very appropriate. The living person should engrave the tombstone with the deceased. Being with someone is never a good thing. You can leave the spot and wait to fill it in later, or you can wait to erect the monument together later.
Feng Shui rules for erecting monuments on ancestral tombs
1. Choose an auspicious time according to the horoscope of the head of the family, and choose an auspicious day according to the specific circumstances of the tomb. Do not conflict with the deceased or the person who erected the monument. .
2. In Feng Shui, every plant, tree, or some very small things in the cemetery are related to good or bad luck. The tombstone is equivalent to the door of the ghost house, which is the throat that absorbs the air from the outside world, so the tombstone is erected. The direction cannot be arbitrary.
3. The height of the monument and the pattern on the monument should be determined according to the specific situation;
4. The material of the monument should be suitable for the direction of the house and Feng Shui.
In addition, the cost of erecting the monument can only be paid by the children. After the monument is erected, the family members should kowtow in front of the monument, burn paper, and set off firecrackers to show respect, and then present wreaths, flowers, and offerings in accordance with traditional customs. Serve food, fruits, etc., light incense, and give paper money. Some places have their own customs, so just follow the local customs.
However, when choosing a cemetery and erecting a monument, you must strictly follow the requirements of Feng Shui step by step, because the cemetery is about dragons, caves, sand, water, and orientation. There is a saying that "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are the same", that is to say, no matter how good Feng Shui is, if the direction is just a little bit wrong, it will cause great damage to Feng Shui. Therefore, it must be solved by professional and proficient people. Never ask for help. It should be operated by those who have only a little knowledge and do not know how to pretend to understand, otherwise it will be self-defeating and cause a family disaster.
Feng Shui precautions for erecting monuments on ancestral tombs
1. If the top of the tombstone is dented or damaged, the descendants of the owner have suffered head injuries or mental disorders.
2. The tombstone is tall, short and horizontal to the elders. The descendants of the owner are more laborious and have no leisure time.
3. If the tombstone is too slender (too tall, too long, too thin horizontally), it will be unlucky for the owner’s descendants to have a shorter life span.
4. If the lower half of the tombstone is dark, the descendants of the deceased are likely to suffer from 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.
5. 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.
6. Granite (Tangshan stone) is the best choice for tombstones,...>>
What is the importance of the height of stone monuments between different generations
It turns out that there are many rules and regulations for the Qingming tree monument. First of all, if grandparents do not have a monument, they cannot erect a monument for their parents. They must erect monuments in order of eldest and youngest; secondly, those who have not burned the third anniversary cannot erect a monument, and they must burn the third anniversary before they can erect a monument; and then there is the leap month. Not only cannot a monument be erected in the new year, but also the ground cannot be broken when visiting the grave.
Before erecting a monument, the monument must be decided in advance, and the family members sit together to discuss the specific details of erecting the monument. In the south of Penglai, most of the stone tablets are made of local granite, and the price is a few hundred yuan; of course, if you have the conditions, you have to order specially made stone tablets from Haojialou in Fushan, Qixia and other places. The stone materials are milky white and black, and the texture is better. , the price is more than 1,000 yuan. The stone tablet is engraved with the date of birth and death of the deceased, the surname and the names of the descendants who erected the monument, etc. After the tombstone is finished, it is wrapped in red cloth because it is taboo to have the inscription facing the sky. In addition, those who have a "favor" with the Shubei family must be present and follow the favor. In the old age, eggs, peach cakes, and money are usually given. When erecting a monument, people should make offerings of cakes, lotus seeds, etc., burn paper with whips, and burn incense and kowtow. The whole family will be present. Some grandfathers, grandmothers, or fathers and mothers were not buried together in the past, so they were buried together when the monuments were erected. Although they were buried together in the past, there were no tombs. This time, the tombs were built together when the monuments were erected. The bricks used to build the tomb head must be blue bricks, red bricks are taboo; at the same time, the base of the monument must be built well. Some more particular families will ask a cook to cook, set up two guests, entertain relatives, etc. on the day when the monument is set up. In addition, they will also plant arborvitae, winter jasmine and other trees.
My father said that in the older generation, there are still children who build "monuments of virtue" for the elderly. Generally, it is an old man who has meritorious deeds and is respected by others; or a woman who keeps good moral integrity will be given a monument to her by future generations. Monuments of virtues and virtues are mostly planted in conspicuous places along the main road at the entrance of the village, making it easy for people coming and going to pay their respects. But this custom no longer exists.
Is there a standard for the height of tombstones
1. Tombstone size. (Unit: feet)
Height 1.9 2.3 2.6 2.9 3.2 3.6 4.2 4.6
Width 1.6 2.0 2.3 and 2.6 2.9 3.2 3.6 4.2
2. The ratio between the size of the grave and the size of the tombstone is not easy to determine. It generally depends on the situation on site, and a moderate balance is enough.

Although it is 97 centimeters high and is located in Tianku, this height is semi-unlucky and it is unfavorable for future generations to live alone and alone in the library.
Although the width is 54 points and 5, it is a very auspicious position, but the same neighbor has no heirs, so it is not good for future generations
