How should ancestral tablets be placed?

Ancestor memorial tablets should generally be placed in the living room or other conspicuous places, and there should be no beams, televisions, stereos, electric fans, air conditioners, etc. Nothing should be placed or piled below. The front position should be open and sunny, and large fish tanks should not appear at close range. Ancestor gods should not face the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom, nor turn their backs to the bathroom, nor put them in the bedroom. Ancestor tablets must be stable and reliable, not shaking, not often colliding. It's best to put them in the cabinet, lean against a solid wall, preferably near the corner, so as to ensure that they are not easily collided by pedestrians or other things.

Ancestor tablets should be consistent with the orientation of the house, just put them in the lobby (living room). However, when it is placed for the first time, it is necessary to avoid the position that conflicts with the traditional era. Try not to move after the ancestral tablet is put away.

Some families, in addition to offering ancestral tablets, also offer sacrifices to God and land. This situation is best arranged according to the method of "heaven and earth match three talents" Divide the wooden cabinet into three compartments: upper, middle and lower, and place the gods' tablets, ancestors' tablets and land in the order of "Heaven, Man and Earth". Some people put ancestral tablets or photos on the counter with idols, which is inappropriate.

Generally speaking, if there is a god in the nave at home, the portrait of ancestors can be placed under the throne of God, not higher than God, and the photos of the living can't be placed with the portrait of ancestors, because they can't be equal!
