Please pay attention to the Feng Shui size of tombstones. If you know anything about it, please reply.
The size of the tombstone is limited by traditional beliefs in Feng Shui, and it should be auspicious. You can use the "Feng Shui Ruler" to make a decision. In the south, there is a "Ding Lan Ruler" to determine good or bad luck. One foot of Ding Lan's ruler is about 38.1cm. Divide one foot into ten grids and write one word on it, namely wealth, loss, prosperity, death, official, righteousness, bitterness, harm and Ding. Among them, Cai, Xing, Guan, Yi, Wang and Ding are auspicious characters and can be selected according to the scale. As for other unlucky things like loss, death, suffering, and harm, try to avoid them. Today, "Luban ruler" is widely used in civil engineering, especially when making ancient wood furniture, and is even more followed by carpenters. The Luban ruler is divided into two levels: upper and lower. The upper part is used for the yang house and the lower part is used for the yin house. In every centimeter of the long tape measure, there is good and bad luck in Feng Shui. In today's cemeteries, Luban rulers are used in the design and construction, and great emphasis is placed on the auspicious numbers. For example, the size of a tombstone is usually 100cm high, 60cm wide and 8cm thick for an upright tombstone; 55cm or 50cm high for a lying tombstone, 80cm wide and 8cm thick. On the Luban ruler, it shows 100cm windfall and Shunke. 60cm brings treasure and windfall. 80cm Tiande. 55cm is good luck. 50cm brings treasure and happiness. 80cm, wealthy and younger brother.
The size of the inscriptions engraved on the tombstone should also match the auspicious numbers on the Luban ruler. Usually large characters are 10cm or 10.5cm, and small characters are between 3cm or 4cm. 10cm into the treasure. 10.5cm Nafu. 3cm means prosperity. 4cm passed the exam. The size of these words is in harmony with the proportion of the stele, and they also imply auspiciousness. The family members of the tomb owner can get psychological comfort from this.
The stone used for tombstones was marble and white marble in the past, which could not withstand wind and rain and was easily weathered. Now it has been replaced by the granite series with exquisite material, brightness and hardness. Among the colorful and solid granites, Indian red, pearl white, and Shanxi black are more popular among customers. Indian red symbolizes nobility, splendor, red years and brilliant career; pearl white symbolizes purity, elegance, gorgeous life and endless sorrow; Shanxi black symbolizes solemnity, dignity, immortal spirit and deep love.

The writing on tombstones is rich in content. Including Feng Shui conditions, place of origin, name, identity, dates of birth and death, descendants, who erected the monument, and the date of burial or reburial.
1. According to Feng Shui conditions, the left side of the tombstone is called the dragon's edge, which is an important part of the tombstone. Here you need to write the mountain direction, the mountain direction line, and the golden line. For example, "Li Guishan Dingxiang and Ziwu two points use Bingzi to divide gold." The purpose is to inform future generations. Even if there is a natural disaster, flood erosion, or war damage, future generations can still follow the Feng Shui conditions on the stele. , find the original Feng Shui direction and re-erect the monument.
2． As for place of origin, in cemeteries with a large number of immigrants, especially those who died in a foreign country, the name of the province, city and county of origin must be engraved on the most conspicuous parts of the left and right corners of the tombstone, and some only have the name of the region and village engraved. This is a sentiment of attachment to the hometown, and it also provides convenience for future generations, relatives and friends to find the tomb when sweeping the memorial ceremony
3. The name is written in the center of the tombstone. This is called "midlist". When writing the name of the tomb owner, the number of characters is related to the feng shui auspicious omen. In order to respect the elders, many words of respect were added in the past, such as kao, xiankao, xiankao for father, concubine, xianhei for mother, Gong and Fujun for men, and surname and Ruren for women. Moreover, the number of words is based on the five characters of "birth, old age, illness, death, and suffering". Among them, the two characters "生" and "老" falling on the sixth, seventh, eleventh, twelfth, sixteenth and seventeenth are auspicious. If it falls on the word "disease", it will be moderate, if it falls on the word "death" or "suffering", it will be unlucky. Therefore, when planning to win the lottery, try to use numbers in an auspicious format. For example: "The 19th generation of Chengxinjiang Society was awarded the title of Fengzheng Dafu Kao Quanyuan Qiu Prefecture Junjia City", which is 21 characters long and fits the character of "生", which is the most auspicious. If the names of the couple are written on the stele, they will be arranged according to the left and right, with men on the left and women on the right.
4. The dates of birth and death are written on both sides of the middle list, still according to the male left and female right. It is best to write all the dates, months and days. Because as time goes by, household registrations are canceled and passed down from generation to generation, it is very difficult to find the dates of birth and death of ancestors after several generations.
5. The person who built the monument, including children, relatives, friends, and groups, should be written on the tiger side of the monument, that is, on the right side. Their children should all be written, and deceased children may have a frame around their names. Still arranged according to seniority, from left to right. There are also those who do not want to reveal their names, so they can write that their children are standing in respect, or they are standing in front of them, or they are standing in a hundred bows.
6. The time when the tomb was built or rebuilt is written on the side of the stele. There are many texts in China that record time, including the AD and the lunar calendar. Most of them record winter solstice and Qingming. Years and dates also often use stems and branches. A, B, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui in the heavenly stems, and Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Shu, and Hai in the earthly branches. Combined to represent days or months on the calendar. Such as Jiazi, Yichou...
There are also some literati who divide the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter into twelve months, and each month has its own name. For example, January is called Mengchun, February is called Zhongchun, March is called Jichun; April is called Mengxia, May is called Zhongxia, June is called Jixia; July is called Mengqiu, August is called Zhongqiu, September is called Jiqiu; October is called Mengdong. November is called midwinter, and December is called season winter. There are also twelve months named after flowers and trees.
