But everyone's ending is always inseparable from one. Die? Words. Castle peak is fortunate to bury loyal bones, or a mound of loess covers a lifetime. After death, it will be buried forever, just a few words on the tablet at most, for a lifetime.
Therefore, repairing tombstones has become an important document after death, not only for the memory of future generations, but also for warning future generations.
With regard to monuments, it is said that the ancients had a ritual system of keeping filial piety for their loved ones for three years, but after three years, they still had to keep filial piety. People had to do things if they were not born, so they would set up tombstones instead of their filial piety.
Tombstones generally stand in front of the grave and behind it, engraved with the names and positions of the deceased, as well as their life stories.
It stands to reason that both emperors and generals and ordinary people are qualified to set up a monument to describe it. Most monuments rely on two main people, one is the owner of the monument, and the other is the erector who engraves the inscription.
The erector of the monument is determined by seniority. The eldest son, the second son, the eldest daughter and this daughter, if not, count from the grandchildren. When carving a monument, they often address the owner of the monument from the perspective of the person who built it.
After reading some tombstones, some people find that most of the ancient tombstones are fine and complicated with various inscriptions and additions, but it seems that almost every tombstone will have such words:? So what? 、? Show? 、? Testing? 、? Hey? What does this mean respectively?
Therefore:
So, as the name implies, you can literally see the past and the past, and then extend the past and the past.
The word "the dead" is also commonly used in ancient Chinese to mean the dead, but it is often engraved on inscriptions? Ancestors? ,? So take the exam first? That is to say, the deceased ancestors and fathers. What about reading ancient books? Ancient tomb? It means the tomb of our ancestors.
This is because most of the ancients didn't say anything about life and death, thinking that they just had to say it? Die? The handwriting is very bad and disrespectful, and I often come up with various words to replace it. And then what? So what? The inscription on the tablet is more subtle and respectful. The use of this word also shows that the relationship between the erector and the owner of the monument is still relatively close.
What does the tombstone often say? Dead? Followed by the name or identity of the deceased, expressing the memory and mourning of future generations.
Sometimes? So what? The word will be preceded by a dynasty name or place name. For example, people who died during the Daoguang period will be engraved on tombstones? Clear the reason? Suffix the title, if there are royal merits in it, engrave it? Qing emperor? . And fame? Wei Gu Nanyang Zhang Fujun Tomb? It is because this tablet was carved in the Northern Wei Dynasty that the first two words came into being? Wei Gu? .
Extraordinary:
Similarly, as the name implies, immortal characters represent brilliance and prominence. What if some tombstones say? Show? The word means that the owner of the tombstone was extraordinary when he was alive, not ordinary people.
Can you use it? Show? Most literate people are bureaucrats, nobles or well-off families. What is the so-called? Senior officials, dignitaries, dignitaries? There is no valuable identity, and you can't occupy the word at will.
But if a person is highly respected and has made great contributions to the countryside and family, can it also be called? Show it to people? Carve a tablet with this word. But in ordinary families, it is generally just used? First of all? This word is used to show respect.
Sure, what does it say? Show? This means value in the family generation. Show? Word sum? First of all? Another key point is the usage of words. From the owner's point of view, if the owner is already an elder in the family and has grandchildren, can it be engraved on the tombstone? Show? Words, such as? So, the exam is obvious? .
If the person who carved this word is a male tablet owner, it means that his parents and in-laws are no longer alive; If it is a female monument owner, it means that her parents and in-laws are no longer alive and have their own grandchildren.
Except for the above special circumstances, it should be used according to etiquette? First of all? Words. However, it is worth mentioning that the country is vast and the dynasties are vivid, and many rules are not to be implemented perfectly and harmoniously.
In the final analysis, the application rules of the word "Xianhexian" mentioned above are only provisions in principle. In fact, many people didn't study so much when they erected monuments to their parents and elders.
The ancients said three immortals:? Too many virtues, second meritorious service, second speech. ? When I erect a monument to the elders in my family, I naturally hope to pay more respect and praise, so that my ancestors will be famous and my face will be more glorious.
But most people are ordinary people and may not know anything. How can there be so many achievements and immortal words? In this way, only one Lide can barely touch the belt, so even ordinary people often add it when carving tablets? Show? The word "noble" means noble and wise, which is understandable.
Check:
"Book of Rites" has a cloud: father, mother, wife; When you die, you test, you test, you test, you test. It explains that after his father died, he was called? Testing? After my mother died, it was called. Hey? .
There is a word that can describe sadness, called bereavement, which means that people are very sad, just like losing their parents. On the tablet mentioned above? So, the exam is obvious? That's what it means.
In ancient times, husband and wife were usually buried in the same cave, that is, together, so it was in the Book of Songs. After a hundred years, go back to his room? Such a sentence. Generally, the husband and wife have different histories, so they will treat men with nothing and women with nothing.
If two people die together and later generations want to erect a monument for them, they can carve it on the monument? Significance test? Or follow the traditional concept that men are superior to women, and the names of men's tablets are engraved on the left and women's tablets are engraved on the right.
But not all couples can be buried in one place. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Henan, and ordered that the people who moved the capital to Luo died and were buried in Henan, and were not allowed to return to the north. ? It means that a man who moved from Pingcheng to Luoyang may not be buried with his wife buried in Pingcheng after his death. Under such circumstances, of course, we can only set up our own monuments, which are far apart from each other.
In addition to calling your father, there are exceptions to the test. You can call someone else's dead father "take the exam first". What did Qu Yuan do? Emperor Levin is a descendant of Miao nationality, and I am the emperor Kao Boyong? Some scholars also said that the exam here refers to ancestors and grandfathers.
Besides,? Imperial examination? At that time, the word "emperor" was not associated with the royal family. The meaning of "emperor" was grand and beautiful, just like? Me? You can also call yourself at first. But then the royal family was respected and many traditions were cancelled.
The usage of the above words is very common, almost every monument will be engraved, in addition, there will be many supplements, as far as possible to show meritorious deeds and praise on the monument.
The deceased was great, and the ancients often exaggerated to add glory. When writing an inscription, there will be more compliments, and I can't wait to make a splendid parallel prose.
Su Shi, a poet, has written countless works in his life, and his calligraphy is exquisite, but he doesn't like to write inscriptions unless someone can't get away with it, because he disdains such boasting.
In fact, the people of Sri Lanka have gone, and both the name and identity of the monument owner and what he did all his life are used by future generations. No one is perfect, and it is too lonely to write only a few cold and objective words. It better be true and sincere.
