Xie Houkun's Talk on Yin House Feng Shui: (3) How to Write Epitaphs

The epitaph is written in terms of the number of words, which are mainly divided into four parts: the hall number, the Chinese character, the date of birth and death, and the filial piety.

● Tanghao: the birthplace of hundreds of surnames. For example, Yangtang's name is Hongnong, and another way of writing is birthplace, which is the place where the deceased was born. The number of words is two words, arranged from right to left.

● Birthday: the date when the deceased was born and passed, usually in the lunar calendar. People from other provinces observe the national calendar as a date of death. Christianity can be divided into

the year of the Republic of China and the year of Jiazi, and the number of words arranged is (Sheng).

lunar calendar: born on February 18th, 2th year of the Republic of China

died on February 3rd, 87th year of the Republic of China

died on May 8th, the end of the year

● Chinese characters: mainly write the name of the deceased, with seven or twelve words (old), which can be used if there are not enough words.

※ Children, young deceased: Therefore, it is a good city

Girls write: Therefore, it is a good city for a long time

※ The deceased with descendants: Male: Xiankao, a good city

(without ancestors) Female: Xianxian, a good city.
