Because modern people have lost the traditional culture of China, many people write memorial tablets in an irregular format. Another point is that when writing memorial tablets, many people have no respect and scribble casually.
First of all, write the requirements of the memorial tablet. You know, writing a memorial tablet is to set a place for these ghosts and gods. If we don't write memorial tablets for ghosts and gods, they can't enter the Dojo. Buddhist temples, monasteries and protectors are not allowed to come in casually. For example, we teach Dharma here, we play the Seven Buddhas here, we convert to the underworld here, there are guardians at the door, and ghosts and gods are turning outside, so we can't get in. There are also dharma protectors at the scene, including our reading AIDS, and ghosts and gods can't get in. How can they get in? Write them a memorial tablet. The memorial tablet is their passport, not their position.
I have talked about this problem many times in my report on my experience in helping students read. For example, there is an example: a vagrant saw our help because the protector was very strict and could not get in. Just like on earth, the protector sneaked in without seeing it. After he sneaked in, if the protected person saw him, he would be driven out. The protector was strict, so the lonely ghost hid. Later, when he was hiding in the kitchen, he happened to meet our layman to go in and wash his hands. He asked: "I am a lonely soul, a wild ghost." When I saw this, I wanted to come in and follow the Buddha, but there was no place for me. Please help me. " Our laity said, "OK. But it's too late to write you a memorial tablet now. We have the tablets of all beings in the dharma world. Please stand there. " As soon as the layman says hello, the protector knows that it is his position, so the protector is not in a hurry.
The patron saint protects our laws, just like we have a meeting here, and there are security guards outside the door. Those who enter the meeting place must have tickets and passes. If our relatives and friends come and have no passes, we will say hello to the security guard at the door. "This is my friend and this is my relative. Let him in. " The security guard came in. People won't let you in if you don't say hello. It's all the same, so it's important to write a memorial tablet This is the first point.
Second, when writing a memorial tablet, be respectful. We should respect ghosts and gods. When writing a memorial tablet, you should not write homophones or variant characters. Every word of the name should be written accurately and cannot be replaced by other words. It's wrong, and ghosts and gods can't get in. So when we write a memorial tablet for someone, we must ask the correct name. Chinese characters are very complicated, and there are many homophones, so be careful. When family members provide names, they don't understand or pay attention, but we should pay attention. Be sure to ask word by word, word by word.
Secondly, writing should be neat. Some people write cursive characters and write the memorial tablets in a mess, which is not acceptable. What should I do? Writing in print, one stroke at a time, this is one. The other one cannot be changed. In the process of writing, if I make a mistake, I have seen many memorial tablets. When I make a mistake, I will smear it with a pen and then write again. This is not allowed, not allowed, and not allowed. What if I did something wrong? Fold it respectfully and rewrite it with another one. This must be known. We must not be disrespectful to ghosts and gods. They cannot benefit. If you scribble, the protector can't see clearly. No
As we know, the memorial tablet is a passport for ghosts and gods. Besides writing the name of the deceased, we should also write Yang Shang, who is the owner of our Yang Shang. When writing a master, the title must correspond to the relationship between the dead and the dead. For example, if the deceased is a mother and her name is Yang Shuxue, then the deceased should be a son or a daughter. If you don't write Yang, it will be very troublesome to write only one. In Ghost Road, the ghost king mentioned Yang Shufang, and a large group of Yang's study came again. Which one should I mention? Because there are too many people with the same name and surname, it is very troublesome not to write Yang. Writing "Master Yang" is different. But there's another problem. For example, Yang Shufang's son is called Li Jie. 100 In Yang's study, there may be five Yang Shufang's sons named Li Jie, and their sons have the same names, which is quite troublesome. What about this? Therefore, two lines should be written behind the memorial tablet: which year, which month, which day and when; On the other line, you should write "died of", that is, when, when and when you died. After writing this way, when I get to the ghost king, I won't mention the wrong person.
China is an ancient civilization, and China's ancient culture is very particular about writing, but now people are gone. I have seen many people's tablets, and I know that these people don't understand. For example, my son wrote a memorial tablet for his mother, directly writing Yang Shufang and Li Suzhen, and that's it. No, it's no use, and he may not be able to come. Moreover, many tombstones, including gravestone carvers, are now seen in the cemetery, and I don't know much about them now. It is wrong to write dead father or father's adult directly on the tombstone. Some people directly write about their dead father, which is also a mistake, at least disrespect for their father.
Tell you, the writing of memorial tablets and tombstones should be clear to others. People don't have to ask whether the parents, in-laws and elders of the deceased are still alive, just look at the tombstone. When a woman dies, people will know whether the husband of the deceased is still alive, whether she has grandchildren and whether her parents are still alive by looking at the memorial tablet. The memorial tablet is clear at a glance. How many people understand now!
Now many people don't understand. Writing directly about the mental position of the deceased father is very simple and can't explain the problem. Even when I went to find the ghost king, I gave him a lot of trouble. People can't find it, so I just don't look for it. So sometimes, although the memorial tablet is written, it has no effect. Let me give you a brief introduction to the writing of the memorial tablet, which you should remember. If there is an opportunity, it's best to invite a book sponsored by our reading assistance group, which is a collection of four books, namely, Simple and Quick Manual, Yin Body Self-help Method, Notes on the End of Life and Notes on Western Learning for Students. This book is widely circulated in our reading group. At the back of this book, there is a writing format of memorial tablets. Let's have a look for ourselves. Today I will give you a brief explanation according to this format.
According to China's writing method since ancient times, after the death of parents, parents can't be written or called. They call their parents when they are alive. After their death, their father's name was Gao and their mother's name was Cong. Kao Kao and Cong Cong, Kao Kao is the father and Cong is the mother. When my father died, I can't say that my father died. That's the biggest disrespect for my father. I must call it the first test or the obvious test.
If we examine the memorial tablet first, outsiders will know that it was set by the dead son of his father. But there are old people in his family, that is, the deceased has a father and a mother. At least one person is here, or his parents are gone, and his parents-in-law are still in the world. Why do you say that? Because as long as one person in the world is with his parents and elders, he can only be told to go first when he dies. He goes first and leads. In this family, he hasn't shown it yet, so he is called "the first".
If his parents, in-laws and elders are gone, and he still has a grandson, then he is the oldest person in the family. Just write "show", show. He is the most distinguished person in the family, known as Xiankao. If there are no grandchildren, he can't be called "Xian" but "Xian", which is what we must know.
So do women. Cong is the mother, Xian Cong is dead, and there are in-laws, parents, and at least one elder still alive, named Xian Cong. Xian Yan and Xian Kao are the same. The elders are gone and have grandchildren. They are all "sages".
The difference between Xianxian and Xianxian is that there must be no elders, but there must be grandchildren. There are no old people on it. You must have grandchildren below to be called "showing off", otherwise it is called "showing off", which is the same for men and women.
We are not polite now. We all talk about our father. This is not right. As a son, what qualifications do you have to call your father by his first name outside? My son called his father's name outside and made a big taboo. This son is absolutely unfilial and doesn't understand the most basic rules, which is the taboo of China ancient culture. But if an outsider comes over and asks, "What's your father's name?" When someone asks, you have to answer. It is impolite not to answer. To answer my dad, that is, my dad, if my son calls his dad's name, say a taboo first. It is taboo for me to mention his father's name, but I have to say it. What if I have to say it? Bow to each other first and say a taboo word in front of your father's name. For example, my father's surname is Cheng Zhizhong. If I mention my father's name, my father's surname is Cheng, and he is afraid of loyalty, I will say so. This is the truth that others have heard that your father's surname is Cheng Zhizhong. This taboo is caught in the middle and not spoken as a name, which shows that the son is humble and respectful to his father. There must be a taboo in the middle, and the writing of memorial tablets is still the same.
If you write a memorial tablet, you should first write a preliminary test or an obvious test. For example, write my father's memorial tablet: my father's surname is Cheng. If I have a grandfather above me or an old man at home, my father will take the exam first. His surname is Cheng and his name is Zhizhong. When writing a memorial tablet, you should write a "Gong" under Cheng Gong, which is a respectful name for him. Let's talk about taboos first. To speak the name, to be loyal and loyal, the government is born in the west. This is very satisfying. The full name is: first pass the exam and be loyal to the public, and the government will be born in the west. If the elders are gone and the father is the tallest generation in the family, then write: Xian Kao Cheng Gong is afraid to know the position of Xi Lotus in Zhongfu Shengjun. Father wrote it simply.
Mother's memorial tablet writing is more complicated than father's. Take my mother for example. My mother's surname is Du, my father's surname is Cheng, and my mother's name is Du Xiuzhen. When my mother died, my grandparents and grandparents were gone. When my mother died, my father died, so when I write my mother's memorial tablet, I can call her Xianxian. You can't say Du Xiuzhen below Xian Yan. It is wrong to say that Xian Yan Du Xiuzhen. What do you call it? Her maiden name is Du, because she married my father. According to the traditional custom in China, she married a chicken and followed a dog, so after she got married, her surname was Cheng, not Du. This should be understood.
How to write the mother's surname? Her surname is Cheng, and her maiden name should be added. This is the so-called immortal becomes wood. Because she gave birth to a son in the Cheng family, she is the mother of the Cheng family's son. Her maiden name comes last, but her full name can't be called Chengdu. She can be called Chengdu when she is alive, but she can't be called Chengdu when she is dead, otherwise she can't find anyone in the underworld. You should write your name, but her name cannot be written directly. If Du Xiuzhen is wrong again, why? She married the Cheng family. The girl's name was given by her parents. What was her name when she was married and alive? Her name is Cheng Du. But it is not good to write Cheng Du's name on the memorial tablet. It is not easy to find her in the underworld. It is necessary to find her childhood name, so that she can find someone, because people have files in the underworld.
So under Cheng Mu, Du Ruren should be written. Confucian people refer to children. Let's write "boudoir name" below. The boudoir name is the prostitute's name, and the boudoir name is Xiuzhen, complete. That is to say, she is now married to the Cheng family and has a baby. Her mother's surname is Cheng and her maiden name is Du. Her childhood name was Xiuzhen. It is still called in Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province. What's it called? Her name is Cheng Du Xiuzhen.
Here, women have one more rule than men. What is another rule? If the deceased meets the requirements of celebrities and her husband is gone, it is not called "Confucianism" but "Tairu".
Because when my mother died, my grandparents and grandparents were gone, and my father died before my mother, so my mother was not called "Confucianism" but "Tairu". When people look too Confucian, they know that the husband of the deceased is gone, the elders above are gone, and they already have grandchildren. Therefore, the full name of my mother's memorial tablet is: immortal becomes mother, too like her maiden name, and Xiuzhen was born in Xilian. In this way, writing the memorial tablet is complete and people can understand it at a glance. So this memorial tablet makes people look awe-inspiring. This is the writing format of mother's memorial tablet.
Also, I want to tell you that at the memorial service, in addition to setting up a memorial tablet for the deceased, we usually set up another evocation coffin for the deceased, which is necessary. If you don't know the reading club, if your memorial tablet is written and the evocation coffin is not set up, what is his divine knowledge? Running around. Yesterday, I told you that the lay man in Dalian was asked to run around. Sometimes, she not only asks and runs, but also runs without asking.
This happened in the past when we were teaching, when we were teaching an interview, the dead body was cold and stiff without temperature. I can't find the temperature. What is the reason? His god ran away, ran away, ran around. If we write him an evocation and post it there, he won't be far away. This is very useful.
The writing format of evocation complications is basically the same as that of memorial tablets. The writing of the memorial tablet is that the title above is the super recommendation of Buddha, and the following is an excellent exam or outstanding person. For example, Fo Chao recommended that Cheng's mother was a girl with a good name of Xilian. Below the tablet is the lotus position.
The name of the evocation flag is not the recommendation of Buddha power, but the introduction of Buddha light. The format of the Buddha's light is the same as the memorial tablet, except that the spirit of two places is written below the evocation banner. The memorial tablet is the lotus position, and under the evocation banner are the two spirits. For example, Buddha's light leads to the enlightenment of mother, mother, maiden and your surname, showing the true god of Jane. Writing evocation paper can make the dead feel safe and not run around.
The old man died at home. If you want to write the memorial tablet, you must write it by your son and daughter-in-law. If the sons and daughters are gone, they can also be written by their daughters. The master in the sun is a descendant, and the title is the first in the exam or the first in the exam. Only when the son and daughter-in-law die can the grandson mourn. If the master Yang is a grandson and his title has changed, the memorial tablet is not an outstanding test, but an outstanding test of his ancestors, that is, we are called grandparents in the world, and the title must correspond.
Many people can't write memorial tablets. How can he write it? Father XXX is written on the memorial tablet, and the signature is the name of grandson. You call your dad, how can you write your grandson's name in the sun? That's not the right name. You are making trouble for the ghost king. It's hard to find someone. On the memorial tablet are Xianzu Kao and Xianzu Cong, and only Shang Yang people can write the name of their grandson.
But remember, there is one condition. If grandparents' memorial tablets were written by grandchildren, it must be their parents, uncles and aunts, so grandparents' memorial tablets can be written by grandchildren, and grandchildren can manage them. If mom and dad are alive and uncles and aunts are alive, then they are not grandchildren. As long as the elderly have children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, they can't be in charge, so they can't write casually.
If the ancestral tablet was tested, people would not ask, and the grandson of this old man was in charge, and all his children were dead. Do you dare? Your parents are not dead yet. As a grandson, you can write a memorial tablet and kill your parents with a stroke of a pen! People who know, at first glance, know that your parents are dead, so you can't write casually. This must be understood.
In good times, you can't afford to be greedy _ fuhui is all there!
In the face of adversity, there is no resentment against evil karma _ karma is exhausted!
And write memorial tablets between spouses. If there are no children, the wife writes a memorial tablet for her husband, that is, the first husband. The name is below, followed by a "Jun" to show your respect. The son called his father Fujun, and his wife said that his husband could only call him a gentleman, followed by Xilian. My late husband xxx is the lotus position in the west. The husband wrote a memorial tablet for his wife, calling it the first room. Because there are no children, here is her maiden name, and the full name is: xx, the maiden name of the first room X, gave birth to the lotus position in the west.
If there are children, the wife will write a memorial tablet for her husband, which reads: My husband X is jealous, and your husband was born in the West. If there are children, the husband writes a memorial tablet for his wife: the first room X mother X maiden name xx was born in Xilian. Because she gave birth to your child, if your surname is Li and her surname is Li, you must write: Li's maiden name is Xiuzhen, and she was born in the west, so you must write this. If there is no son, that is: Wang's maiden name is Xiuzhen, and she was born in the lotus position in the west. This memorial tablet is relatively simple.
Writing memorial tablets between brothers is particularly simple. The younger brother writes a memorial tablet for his brother, and he wants to write: Brother Xian. Respect your brother. If an elder brother wants to write a memorial tablet for his younger brother, he can directly write "Dead Brother", "Dead Brother" and directly address him. But if a younger brother writes a memorial tablet for his younger brother, he can't write a dead brother. If a younger brother writes a memorial tablet for his younger brother and a dead brother, people will know that this person has no rules and should write his brother first.
Parents write memorial tablets for their children, which are about dead men and dead sons. Parents can call their children by their first names without hesitation. Below is the name and lotus position, which is very simple and easy to write.
In addition to the above, the date of birth and the date and time of death of the deceased must be written on the back of the tablet. If people turn the memorial tablet over and look at the back, birthday, you don't know. You don't even know your parents' birthdays. How do you celebrate your parents' birthday? You have never celebrated your parents' birthdays. Are you a filial son and daughter? People don't have to ask. So why is China's traditional culture particularly profound? Do people still have to ask you if this son is filial?
Besides, it is generally not used now, and people now simply can't understand the color of the memorial tablet. How many people know now? Now, if you look at temples and Buddhist temples all over the country, the memorial tablets are all yellow, which was not allowed before. Yellow pills are for women. Women only use yellow cards when they die. Men can't use porn when they die. When a man dies, he uses green paper to erect a monument. In the past, from the distance of the mourning hall, you could know whether the deceased was a man or a woman only by looking at the color of the memorial tablet. Are men and women yellow now? I can't tell them apart Come and have a look if you want to know. Now people don't understand the traditional culture of China. If you use a blue flat, he thinks you are using the wrong one, and the blue flat is not easy to buy, so we will follow suit and use a full yellow flat. I hope that reading clubs all over the country will learn to write memorial tablets, and they must learn. Writing memorial tablets is also to cultivate our respect. We should respect ghosts and gods!
We often say that all living beings are our parents, not just that they were our parents. Then ghosts and gods are our parents, so are all the dead, and all the suffering beings are our parents, so we should be respectful! Writing down every memorial tablet means that we respect everyone who dies like parents. Be sincere and respectful, and use regular script.
Of course, tablets cannot be crossed or checked. You said draw a line in the middle? No Can be folded slightly vertically. I usually fold it in half several times. After folding in half, I can divide it into several compartments. What should I do? Make the words on the memorial tablet written evenly and in the same size. What will happen if this grid is not separated? I'm afraid I can't write it. The words in front are very small, so there is a lot of space below, and the words below are very big. The words written in front are small and dense, and the words written behind are big and loose, which is ugly. Sometimes the words written in front are bigger and looser, and there is no room at the back, so write smaller and tighter. This memorial tablet is uncomfortable, uncomfortable. Can ghosts and gods be comfortable?
I'm telling you, in the past, scholars went to Beijing to take exams, and they were particular at that time. When the test paper reaches the examiner, he won't see how well your article is written or how wonderful your article is. If the examiner sees an ink ball on your test paper, he will grab your test paper and throw it into the wastebasket without looking! No matter how good the content is! Because you will be an official in the future, you can't be careless and you can't make decisions for the people, so no matter how good the article is, you don't need it. In the past, people were very strict I can't do it now. Now reading other people's articles is at sixes and sevens.
Write a memorial tablet, no painting, no drawing. At present, for convenience, our memorial tablets are generally printed up and down, and only the middle part is filled in. When writing, first fold vertically from the middle, and then fold the space in half a few times, that is, a few words, to write evenly. The old mage talks about drawing symbols, some people draw symbols, and some people draw symbols that are invalid. Why? The heart of the scribbler is pure, and no distractions are born, so the scribbler he painted is spiritual. Just like we recite Buddha, people who can recite Buddha can recite a sentence of Amitabha, thus eliminating the felony of 8 billion people robbing life and death. People who can't recite Buddha can recite it a hundred thousand times without any work.
