When and where did this species originate?

Zhongshengji is a taboo term for "burial of life", which originated from the Taoist sect in Jiangxi. This technique originated from ancient customs. The Hakka people also have a saying of "burying the foundation of life", which means to bury alive. For example, "good fortune moves quickly and the mud collapses, so it is necessary to 'bury the foundation of life'."

Zhong Shengji originally pretended to bury people alive and fake their death once, in order to deceive the law enforcement officials and avoid disaster. Later, it evolved into the technique of "yin house and yang function", in which one's own substitute is buried in advance to absorb the energy of the dragon's cave, prolong life and increase happiness. The principle is similar to the common people building "birth sacrifices" or setting up "birthplaces" to worship upright officials or benefactors. Dedicate your merits to your benefactor.
