ADVERTORIAL A sacred heirloom to be cherished for generations to come Behold the Qian Long Jadeite Mountain - one of the foremost tools commissioned by its namesake in his steadfast endorsement of Imperial Feng Shui. As one of the most revered rulers of the Qing dynasty, Emperor Qian Long ably commanded his vast empire to a golden age of unprecedented abundance and success. This is manifested not only in its material wealth, but also in the prevailing spirit of robust cultural exchange between the East and West. The thriving economy and civil society of the Qing dynasty made it fertile ground for a renaissance of the arts, architecture and innovation. Emperor Qian Long’s reign is characterised not only by his distinguished eminence, but also by his fervent adherence to the tenets of Imperial Feng Shui. Under his command, the Qing court underwent an extensive overhaul, incorporating auspicious Imperial Feng Shui treasures woven seamlessly into the ideological fabric of this ancient art. Arguably the most fabled of these treasures are the jadeite pieces crafted distinctively in the image of mountain formations, and installed strategically across the imperial palace. At Imperial Harvest, these are today reimagined as Qian Long Jadeite Mountains, in tribute to their progenitor and most ardent advocate. Despite the magnificent outlook of contemporary pieces, the Qian Long Jadeite Mountain was first conceived to address a more mundane, yet fundamental, architectural consideration - that of siting imperial structures on or near natural mountains. According to Imperial Feng Shui principles, this is desirable as "Mountains govern benefactors, authority and harmony ()." More than 200 years after Emperor Qian Long’s illustrious reign, the imposing silhouette of the Qian Long Jadeite Mountain looms large at Imperial Harvest, bearing witness to the pioneering ingenuity of his Imperial Feng Shui masters. Ensconced within the inner sanctums of countless blessed clients, this magnificent treasure of choice reigns supreme, channeling to the influence of auspicious mountain landforms.
