Every year, the Double Ninth Festival – the Chong Yang Festival (重阳节) marks the day of Supreme Yang. With the doubling of the number nine, it is the cosmic peak of vitality, prosperity, and longevity. For the emperors of dynastic China, this was no ordinary day. It was the chosen moment to ascend Mount Tai, the sacred peak believed to be closest to Heaven, and perform the Feng Shan rites (封禅大典) – ceremonies designed to unite Heaven, Earth, and Man, and secure the Mandate of Heaven for another cycle of prosperity.
Yet the emperor’s journey up Mount Tai was more than a ritual of devotion – it was a declaration of alignment, stability, and legitimacy. To ascend the mountain was to show that the empire itself rested upon unshakable foundations.
In the modern era, we no longer climb Mount Tai. Instead, we turn to artefacts that embody its role as the axis of Heaven and Earth. At the heart of Grand Master David Goh’s Anchor Ritual for Chong Yang stands the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain. Just as Mount Tai anchored the emperor’s rite, the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain became the modern altar of stability and authority. It is the foundation upon which all other blessings – wealth, benefactors, opportunities, and longevity – can be safely secured.
During the Qing dynasty, Imperial Feng Shui masters faced a formidable challenge. The energy map of the cosmo-charted through the San Yuan Xuan Kong system (三元玄空) – revealed that Mountain Stars shift every 20 years, following the rhythm of each Feng Shui period. This meant that the carefully chosen orientation of palaces, temples, and residences could become obsolete within a single cycle. For the emperors, whose mandate depended on flawless alignment with Heaven and Earth, this was more than inconvenient – it was a direct threat to stability and prosperity.
Rebuilding entire palatial complexes every 20 years was neither technically feasible nor economically sustainable. The empire required a practical yet powerful solution.
It was under the reign of Emperor Qian Long – widely regarded as the patron and innovator of Imperial Feng Shui – that this solution emerged. He commissioned the carving of jadeite mountains, artefacts designed to capture and anchor the auspicious Mountain Star energies within the palace itself. These mountains became the portable altars of authority, ensuring that the emperor remained aligned with benefactors, stability, and noble support, regardless of shifting cycles.
Over time, these Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountains came to symbolise not only imperial foresight but also dynastic longevity. Many have since found their way into the collections of world-class institutions and auction houses such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s, where they are celebrated as masterpieces of both artistry and metaphysics.
In Grand Master David Goh’s modern Anchor Ritual, the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain continues this lineage. It serves as the indispensable foundation of every Feng Shui arrangement, echoing the emperor’s solution to a timeless problem: how to stabilise authority, attract benefactors, and ground prosperity across generations.
In the philosophy of Imperial Feng Shui, the world is governed by the interplay of Mountains and Water – a principle expressed in the maxim:
“山管人丁,水管财”
Mountains govern benefactors, harmony, and authority; Water governs wealth, opportunities, and intuition.
Mountains, by their very nature, are stable, unmoving, and enduring. In the metaphysical order, they represent permanence, lineage, and the noble support of benefactors. This is why generations of emperors had mountain imagery painted or carved behind their thrones – a visual declaration of their right to command and their ability to hold authority.
Among all precious materials, jadeite was regarded as the most auspicious for capturing and transmitting cosmic energy. It embodies:
Jadeite was not chosen merely for beauty; it was the emperor’s assurance that the mountain’s energy would be preserved, amplified, and aligned with his reign.
By carving jadeite into the form of mountains, Imperial artisans created portable altars that mirrored the sacred peaks like Mount Tai. These treasures allowed emperors to carry the essence of Heaven – Earth alignment into their palaces and rituals.
Today, the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain retains this dual symbolism:
Together, they make the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain the foundation stone of modern Imperial Feng Shui practice.
At the heart of the ancient Feng Shan rites, emperors consecrated two altars on Mount Tai:
The emperor himself stood as the axis between Heaven and Earth, securing benefactors, blessings, and legitimacy for the empire.
In the modern Anchor Ritual for Chong Yang Festival, the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain assumes this role of the sacred summit. It functions as the primary Heaven Altar within one’s home or office – the grounding point from which Supreme Yang energy is harnessed.
In this way, the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain transforms the Chong Yang Festival from a symbolic observance into a practical, powerful alignment – accessible to professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors alike.
During the Chong Yang Festival, the doubling of the number nine represents the peak of Yang energy – a force that fuels breakthroughs, prosperity, and renewal. When enthroned in the Anchor Ritual, the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain channels this energy into blessings that directly reflect its Mountain Star role: benefactors, authority, and stability.
These blessings mirror the emperor’s intention at Mount Tai: to secure Heaven’s mandate not through chance, but through alignment with enduring principles of stability and authority.
While once reserved for emperors, the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain now empowers modern leaders, professionals, and wealth-builders to secure their own Mandate of Heaven. Its blessings of authority, recognition, and benefactor support adapt seamlessly to the challenges of today’s world.
Every Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain undergoes a meticulous consecration under the direct guidance of Grand Master David Goh, ensuring it is not merely a piece of fine jadeite, but a living spiritual instrument.
Through this process, the Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain becomes more than an artefact – it is a portable altar of authority, benefactor support, and enduring prosperity, tailored to its owner’s destiny.
The Chong Yang Festival is the peak of Supreme-Yang a once-a-year window to secure authority, benefactors, and prosperity. Anchoring your Imperial Harvest Qian Long Jadeite Mountain during this period aligns your destiny with the same forces that empowered emperors at Mount Tai.
