Tombstones are usually named monuments, which record the names of cemetery owners, etc. So what is the geomantic stress of writing tombstones? This issue of cemetery feng shui will take you to know about cemetery feng shui: what is the emphasis on writing tombstones? Let's take a look together.

The tombstone, which began in the Zhou Dynasty, is the symbol of the owner of the tomb. It is located in the middle of the tomb (the entrance of the tomb) for future generations to sacrifice. The tombstone should sit in the same direction as the coffin in the tomb. Tombstones are generally made of bluestone for long-term use. Its specifications are 4.8 feet high, 1.2 feet wide and 0.2 feet thick (use even numbers instead of odd numbers for good luck). The lower end of the tombstone is the cornerstone, and the bad inside is subject to the tombstone. There are two kinds of inscriptions: one is a famous monument, and the other is a famous monument, also called "epitaph". Folk monuments are generally famous monuments, and some record the owner's resume and achievements on the back of the tombstone. Such a monument, with a famous monument in front and a famous monument in the back, is dual-purpose.

The epitaph consists of four parts: the year of the owner's birth and death, the name of the monument (in the list), the person who erected the monument, and the time when it was erected. The year of birth and death, the person who erected the monument and the time when it was erected are written in the format of the preceding paragraph, and the name of the monument (in the middle table) is in the middle of the tombstone.
