Prosperity Life Burial: How This Ancient Feng Shui Secret "Sows Blessings" for the Living?

【Writer: Tan Ji Yi】

Modern science talks about "genetics," "energy fields," and "frequency resonance." Yet, over a thousand years ago, Feng Shui masters had already proposed similar concepts. An ancestral burial site acts like a "Qi base station". When properly situated, descendants enjoy full "signal bars" akin to a cell phone, naturally attracting wealth, smooth fortunes, and mental clarity.

But if ancestors can receive blessings after burial, can the living also tap into this earthly energy network in advance?

The answer is: Yes.

Master Tan Jiyi explains: "Every person’s DNA carries the genetic codes of their ancestors. When ancestral remains are buried in a specific land, it plants the family’s ‘roots’ into the Qi of that earth."

DNA is the tangible genetic link, while earthly energy is the intangible inheritance. When human bloodlines connect to a piece of land, a resonance of energy fields activates. In Feng Shui, this "bloodline bond" is called "Qi resonance and response." As descendants, our bodies flow with this very "code," allowing us to synchronize with the land, receive blessings, and thrive under its influence.

Beyond the well-known Yin House and Yang House, a hidden Feng Shui art is reserved for the living — one that taps into dragon lair hotspots to supercharge personal fortune. This is "Prosperity Life Burial" (Zhong Sheng Ji), one of Feng Shui’s most enigmatic rituals.

What is "Prosperity Life Burial"? Why Does It Transform Fate?

For millennia, Prosperity Life Burial has been a fiercely guarded, powerhouse technique in Feng Shui. Historical records trace it back to the Tang Dynasty, where Chancellor Yao Chong famously pre-built his own "longevity tomb" at Mount Wan'an — a symbolic act of Prosperity Life Burial adopted by imperial elites. The legend of Zhang Liang, a Han Dynasty strategist who built his longevity tomb and achieved enlightenment, further cemented the practice as a template for "extending blessings through earthly roots."Even Grandmaster Yang Jiupin, a legendary Tang Dynasty Feng Shui master, declared: "The work of earth energies is witnessed by gods and spirits. It holds the power to alter destiny itself."

This underscores a core belief: Feng Shui, when aligned with cosmic timing (celestial luck) and land potency (earthly fortune), does not just shape life’s ups and downs — it can rewrite fate.

Historically, Prosperity Life Burial was exclusive to emperors, nobles, and generals. Its effects were deemed so potent that masters guarded it fiercely, sharing it only through oral tradition. Ancient rulers, upon ascending the throne, would dispatch Feng Shui masters to hunt for dragon lair hotspots. Once a true dragon lair was confirmed, they would break ground on an auspicious date to construct a royal mausoleum. This Life Burial acted as a conduit to absorb earth’s energy and stabilize the national fortune.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the art of Prosperity Life Burial has flowed through dynasties — Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing — into the modern era. Today, across Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and even Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, people still seek Feng Shui masters to create Life Burials for purposes like career advancement, fertility, longevity, love, and wealth attraction.

Historical records reveal that among Ming Dynasty emperors, only four — Zhu Yuanzhang (Hongwu Emperor), Yongle Emperor, Jiajing Emperor, and Wanli Emperor — constructed their Prosperity Life Burial mausoleums while alive. Strikingly, these rulers lived longer and reigned far longer than their peers, showcasing the profound impact of securing a dragon lair on extending one’s mandate of heaven.

Once an imperial privilege, Prosperity Life Burial has been democratized. Through lineage-trained Feng Shui masters, modern individuals now access this art. By selecting auspicious sites and constructing Life Burials, they tap into heaven-earth energy to recalibrate destiny.

As the proverb goes:

"Bury ancestors in blessed land, and descendants thrive; let graves absorb earth’s energy, and kin inherit blessings."

Master Tan Jiyi clarifies, unlike Yin House Feng Shui, which benefits descendants, a Life Burial is a “longevity tomb” for the living. It allows you to implant your energy into sacred earth — planting your “Qi roots” — to reshape fate, replenish vitality, and extend your lifespan through cosmic-earth resonance.

Traditionally, the Life Burial ritual is conducted by experienced Feng Shui masters at sites that align with the Five Sacred Elements: Dragon, Sand, Cave, Water, and Direction. Once the perfect dragon lair is chosen, symbolic items representing the living person, like hair, worn clothes, nail clippings, blood, and their Bazi (birth chart), are placed into a clay urn. Some masters add personal talismans or prayers. This “proxy body” is buried in the sacred site, acting as a stand-in for the person’s physical form. 

Think of it as planting a “DNA clone” into the earth’s energy field, syncing your essence with the land’s Qi to boost luck, extend lifespan, attract wealth, secure career success, or even bring offspring and protection. Those who secure a true dragon lair are said to tap into the earth’s power to rewrite their fate, achieving a “metaphysical upgrade.”

But this is not just a ritual — it’s a meticulous Feng Shui operation. Masters customize every step to the person, the land, and cosmic timing. They hike mountains, study water flows, and analyse your Bazi to pinpoint the ideal spot where your energy aligns with the dragon lairs. 

Once the site is confirmed, the urn is buried on an auspicious date calculated using lunar-stellar calendars. After sealing the Life Burial, a red stone tablet engraved with the character “Longevity(寿)” marks the site as a “living tomb,” signalling that the person is still alive. Finally, a gratitude ceremony is held to give thanks to the earth spirits.
