There are two cones on the grave, one upward and the other downward, commonly known as the grave cap. What does it mean?

Prove that this tomb was never swept by Tomb-Sweeping Day. Later generations should offer sacrifices to their ancestors: snacks, fruits and wine. Now it is popular to put a bunch of flowers. Burn some paper money. In addition, add some new soil to the grave, because after a year of wind and rain, the grave soil has been lost. To maintain the size of the tomb, it is natural to add some new soil every year. This is also the reason why the grave without offspring gradually becomes smaller and finally becomes flat. What to do after adding a grave is to make an altar for placing sacrifices; Another is to make a "hat" and put it on the top of the grave.

Pay attention to the grave cap: 1. Must be the grave where my parents were buried together. If you don't put a hat on a single grave, shovel a shovel and press a piece of burning paper. Passers-by can tell whether parents or single parents are buried in the grave by the presence or absence of "hats"; 2. Direct descendants must be responsible for resettlement. If there is no queen, the nephew can be his gift. This matter cannot be "overstepped". A few years ago, I once put a hat in front of my uncle's grave, and then when I was burning paper money for my uncle, a whirlwind suddenly blew all the paper money away. Naturally, uncles and aunts can't accept their nephews' filial piety, because they have their own sons, and they are waiting for their sons to send hats. 3. The shape and making of the hat. Shovel the old soil on the ground with a spade, cut the clod into four prisms vertically around the clod with a spade, then dig out the prism on one side of the clod, level the bottom and move it to the top of the grave. The top of the grave is a little flat in advance, and a piece of burning paper is put on it. The side length of the hat is about 25-30 cm, so it is close to a square from any side. Pay attention to choose soil with grass roots as far as possible to prevent peeling.
