Lai’s Seventy-Two Burial Principles

Lai Buyi’s Seventy-Two Burial Methods, a classic of feng shui by renowned Song Dynasty master Lai Wenjun (also known as Buyizi), details 72 unique burial techniques. Aimed at resting the deceased and blessing descendants through precise site selection and burial methods, these techniques—including large, small, shallow, and deep burials—are flexibly applied based on natural conditions like terrain and qi intensity. They reflect Lai’s profound understanding of feng shui and the ancient wisdom of harmonious coexistence with nature.
