The words on the tombstone have faded, so you can paint them in their original colors. The white film is black, and the black film can be white. If all the colors are gone and you don't want to use the original color, you can also choose red.

When drawing color, clean the dust on the tablet, and it is best to wipe it with a new cloth, so that the color of the words can be kept longer after drawing.

First, the main inscription writing:

The main inscription is written in large letters in the middle of the tombstone, and the content is generally:

1. Zukao Tomb (for grandfather), Zucong Tomb (for grandmother), Xiankao Tomb (for father), Xiancong Tomb (for mother), Yuekao Tomb (for father-in-law) and Yuecong Tomb (for mother-in-law).

2. For women, you can also write your own name directly, such as "Tomb of XXX" (for mother) and "Tomb of XXX in the first room" (for wife). If it is a single name, add the word "zhi" before the word "tomb", such as "tomb of so-and-so" (mother).

3. If it is a double tomb buried by men and women, the names of the old man and the old woman (including Kaohe Cong) should be arranged side by side according to the male right and female left, and the words "Xian" or "Zu" and "Yue" above should be shared with the "Tomb" or "Tomb" below and written in the middle of the two columns.

4. The number of lines in the main inscription must be "together, it is a bald head", that is, it must be 6 words or 7 words, or 1 1 word, or 12 word. If it is written as "the tomb of", the word "zhi" in front of the tomb can be reduced, and if the number of words is too small, it should be increased to 165438.

Origin:

1. We can remember the graves of one or two generations, but we can't remember three generations, especially after migration and war. How to solve it, people have come up with many ways. At first, people buried the dead. Inspired by the wooden stakes used to maintain the coffin rope, they inserted wooden stakes and bamboo poles in front of the tomb and tied fibrous things (paper or silk, etc.) ) to indicate the date and time of birth and death of the deceased, which is called "Ming Jing" (or "Ming Jing"). But it is easy to be damaged, so people try to find another way: the rich use stone pillars instead of wooden pillars, and engrave the name, birth time and official rank of the deceased on the stone pillars.

2. In order to carve more characters, its shape evolved into squares and rectangles, and it began to be buried inside or outside the tomb. Referring to the architectural structure, the top of the monument is capped with animal, plant or landscape patterns, and the body of the monument is engraved with the resume of the deceased. It shows that he was buried alone with his wife, concubine, son and daughter. Geomantic geographical orientation of the inscribed Yin House (that is, the tomb) (expressed in heavenly stems and earthly branches). Middle-class families set up medium-sized tombstones, while poor families can only set up small stone tablets with names, ceramic brick tablets or plant some evergreen trees as symbols.

3. As a result, tombstones are gradually transformed from practical products into cultural works of art, and their functions, shapes, textures and decorations are becoming more and more diversified. Celebrity tombstones pay more attention to granite, marble and other high-quality stone materials. There is a statue of the deceased on the top of the monument or a porcelain statue of the deceased embedded in the center of the monument. Tombstones have become "honorary certificates" and decorations to record the family background and merits of the deceased. This is in line with the social fashion of China people to honor their ancestors, benefit future generations and last forever.

4. In order to avoid wind, rain, sun and other natural erosion and man-made damage. The monument stands outside the tomb, and the epitaph and inscription are buried in the tomb. Tombstones prevailed in Han and Tang dynasties, and later became a fixed trend.
