The memorial tablet of the family god consists of five parts: hall number, shrine, church couplet, shrine and newspaper.

The writing requirement of "Tang Hao" must be regular script, and running script and cursive script are not allowed. Read and write horizontally from right to left. "Hall number" must be recorded according to the family tree, and it is not allowed to be named at will. "Hall number" must be written in black on a red background or yellow on a black background, and white, blue, green and other colors are not allowed. The size of the paper or plaque is two feet four inches wide and four feet five inches long.

The writing requirements of "Divine Position" are more specific, standardized and strict, with five taboos and five prohibitions. These five taboos are:

Writing "Tian" requires "no pressure" and it is forbidden to connect two horizontal lines; Writing "land" requires "the land is not separated", and it is forbidden to separate the soil; When writing "Jun", it is required to seal the taboo "Jun doesn't keep his mouth shut" and rewrite it as "Lord" or "country" at will to avoid ambiguity;

To write "pro", we must write "pro" in the traditional way and ask "pro not to close his eyes";

When writing "teacher", we should keep the teacher in the original position, that is, write the word "teacher" in a vertical direction. These five taboos are taboo and care on the one hand, and aesthetic requirements from the perspective of calligraphy on the other.

Five requirements and five no's: writing in regular script, not using cursive characters or other fonts;

Brush ink moderately, without dripping, splashing, flowing or spraying, to ensure neat handwriting;

The strokes should be round and full, and no fuzz or bifurcation is allowed;

After writing the inscription, carefully lay it flat in a quiet and clean place and dry it naturally in the shade. Don't use it to stick, wipe the ink left on the words or bake with fire, so as not to damage the words paper. When sticking to the wall after drying, glue or paste should be applied around the paper, and it should not be fully applied to prevent the paper from wrinkling and discoloring after drying.

Extended data?

In the long history of cultural inheritance, China has formed a rich and colorful national and folk culture. This cultural form was initially manifested in the tablets of family gods in thousands of households, especially in rural areas, which is also commonly known as "incense".

Due to several large migrations in history, the clan system of their surnames is very complicated, and most of the locals in China advocate the custom of worshipping their ancestors in their temples.

Therefore, after the Hakkas moved to various places, they had a large population and stable production and life, and some famous families successively established ancestral halls, ancestral halls and other places of worship. Even some ordinary people and poor families are very particular about the form of family sacrifice. When they build a house, they almost always turn the main room into the main room. (The so-called main room is a main room in the middle of three rooms, and people in the city call it the living room. The left and right rooms are called rooms, and the city people call them bedrooms. There is an incense shrine on the back eaves of the welcome door in the hall.
