Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to the feng shui of tombs. From emperors and generals to ordinary people, everyone will carefully study the feng shui of the tomb when choosing a tomb. So is rebuilding old tombs harmful to future generations? What should we pay attention to when repairing our ancestral grave?

Is it harmful to future generations to rebuild old graves?

If you don’t pay attention to Feng Shui when renovating an old tomb, it may affect the fortune of future generations.
From the perspective of Feng Shui, the renovation of ancestral tombs does not necessarily improve the fortunes of future generations. If not done properly, it may have the opposite effect, affecting the fortunes and health of future generations. Therefore, when renovating ancestral tombs, care should be taken to avoid taboos to prevent bad effects.

What should be paid attention to when repairing the ancestral tomb

1. Both erecting a monument and setting the direction are very important. All graves have an orientation. If no tombstone is erected, firstly, descendants will not know the location and orientation of the tomb. Especially for the mounded earth tombs in the north, it is very common that people will not know the orientation of the tombstone after a long time. This also leads to the inability to choose a date based on the location of the tomb when repairing the grave. If the sitting mountain is inconsistent, the chosen day may bring disaster. Secondly, the descendants cannot figure out which ancestor’s tomb it is because of the long time, which may lead to the loss of ethics in the end.
2. When digging for graves, it is generally required to be a hundred steps away. Be careful not to dig too deep as this will damage the ground veins. If you find subsidence or cracks around the grave, you must repair them to avoid disasters.
3. Some people choose to repair tombs on Qingming Festival. Although there is no taboo on repairing tombs on Qingming Festival, it must be auspicious in the year.
4. Granite is the best material for tombstones. The ones with balanced texture, off-white color and slightly reddish color are the best quality stone. The second is marble. It is best not to polish marble, otherwise it will be as shiny as a mirror, and will be reflected on the tombstone when descendants worship, which is an unlucky sign.
5. If there are mosses growing on the tombstone, or weeds covering it, or vines growing on it, it indicates that your descendants will suffer from long-term illness.
6. If the color of the tombstone is dark, it means that the fortune of the descendants will be unlucky, and the coffin will easily be filled with water.
7. If the tombstones all turn dark black, it means that the fortunes of the descendants will be unlucky, their careers will encounter obstacles, and they will have to work hard.
8. The tombstone involves the direction of gold division. Those who do not understand Feng Shui must not change the direction of the tombstone casually. If it is placed at the direction of a fire pit, disaster will follow. The ancients said: If the direction of gold division is off by a hair's breadth, wealth and honor will never meet! Be sure to ask a professional Feng Shui master to determine the alignment.
9. Repairing an old tomb does not necessarily mean making it more luxurious or grand. Good feng shui for a grave has nothing to do with whether it is luxurious or not, but it has to do with the direction of the mountain and the dragon's position. Of course, from a general perspective, luxurious cemeteries also represent something that future generations have accomplished. The tombs of great men were all renovated later.
