What are the requirements for erecting a monument during the Qingming Festival?

Direction of the monument

The direction of the monument should be consistent with that of the acupuncture point. Many friends know the details of Feng Shui for tombs. There are 24 directions, and 360 is divided into 24 parts of 15 degrees, that is to say, one direction is 15 degrees. If the direction of the monument does not match the direction of the acupuncture point in the grave, it may result in a slight error. Point selection and direction setting are the most critical links in Feng Shui for tombs and should not be underestimated. It is related to the popularity, health, and career of future generations, and which descendants are more beneficial. Remember the Gen direction in the northeast. Generally, do not erect a monument because the traditional Gen direction is the ghost gate. Setting up a monument here can easily make family members uneasy, the yin energy is heavy, and there may be ghosts and strange things.

Time of erection

In terms of Feng Shui date selection, there are two time periods in a year when you don't have to choose a date. One of the time periods is around the Qingming Festival, when you can add soil to the grave, erect tombstones, plant trees, and do all kinds of things related to the grave. This is why people concentrate all matters related to the grave on the Qingming Festival. If a monument is to be erected during the Qingming Festival, it should be done within half a month between the week before and the week after the festival. For other specific times, you must choose an auspicious day, and never conflict with the person who has deceased the person who erected the tombstone, so as to avoid bringing harm to your relatives and causing future troubles.

Requirements for the Stone Tablet

The material of the stone tablet should be durable and resistant to weathering. The color of the stele surface should be black or gray. Black and gray have a solemn feeling, and are cool colors, which are yin and suitable for use in tombs. Do not use bright colors. Bright colors on the stele will indicate lustful colors in the house. Among them, according to the Bagua Palace facing the front of the stele, gray is better than black when facing south, and black is better than gray when facing east and southeast. It should not be too tall or too short. Generally, it should not be lower than the abdomen and not higher than the neck. It is not the case that the taller the better. The shape of the tombstone should be rectangular and regular, not too narrow or too wide. If the tombstone is short and wide, the descendants will be short and fat.
