Dragon movements are
Invisible channels of life energy (Chi)

In traditional Chinese culture, for over 2000 years, a dragon vein is believed to be an invisible channel of life energy, or qi, flowing through mountain ranges and across the landscape. These Feng Shui energy lines can influence the prosperity, stability, and destiny of a region or even an entire dynasty.

Chinese rulers paid extraordinary attention to dragon veins. They believed that damaging a dragon vein could disturb the balance between heaven, earth, and humanity and bring disaster to the nation.

China’s dragon veins are traditionally believed to begin in the Kunlun Mountains on the northwestern Tibetan Plateau. From there, they divide into three great systems—the northern, central, and southern dragons—and stretch eastward across China.

The Qinling Mountains belong to the central dragon, and is an important section of his vein. It runs through the heart of China, with Xi’an as the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, having benefitted generously from the powerful energy of this dragon vein.

The perfect Retreat for the soul
and thus for China’s Leadership

It begins with Lingyin Temple, being restored many times. During the Qing dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor is said to have traveled secretly through southern China in plain clothes. When he arrived at Lingyin Temple, it was already late. The emperor knocked on the door, but a young monk refused to open the main gate, saying the temple was closed. He offered to let the visitor enter through a side door instead. The emperor had no choice but to reveal his true identity. From then on, Lingyin Temple adopted a rule: the main gate would open only for the emperor. Everyone else had to enter through the side doors. That tradition continued even after the Communists took power. The next person allowed to enter through the front gate after Emperor Qianlong, was Deng Xiaoping, and recently Xi Jinping.

Since the 12thC, Lingyin Temple has been recognized as a temple dedicated to protecting the nation. Inside the temple is a special tablet known as the CCP’s national fortune tablet. Its inscription prays for the foundation of the People’s Republic to remain secure and for the country to prosper. China’s Communist Party is the world’s largest atheist political organization. It tightly controls religion. Yet inside one of China’s most important Buddhist temples, monks are praying for the survival and prosperity of the communist state.
