What are the concerns and taboos of setting up a monument?

The stone tablet is exquisite in size. It shouldn't be too high or too short. Generally it should not be too low, but the abdomen is too high and the neck is too high. Not as high as possible. It is best to cooperate with the cemetery, and the tombs of ordinary people are not too big. The tall monument standing in front of the cave will put pressure on the grave.

Tombstone shape, rectangular, regular, not too narrow or too wide. If the tombstone is short and wide, people will be short and fat. And these are all things that need attention.

The structure of the monument

The structure of a monument is generally divided into three parts: head, body and monument. The head of the monument is mainly carved with some names, or just plays a decorative role. The body of the monument is engraved with inscriptions, and the pedestal plays a bearing and decorative role.

After the Ming Dynasty, the pedestal was changed from turtle shape to turtle shape. It is said that it is one of the nine sons of the dragon and is good at carrying loads. The early custom of building monuments began in the Zhou Dynasty, when there were no words engraved on the monuments, which were called "wordless monuments".
